From the rather heated discussion today and in the past on problems with up2date it occurs to me that this problem has been asked enough that it should be addressed in the Fedora FAQ. I usggest that a link to the article by Dollaz at http://fedoranews.org/contributors/alexander_dalloz/mirror/
should be incorporated into the FAQ.
Additionally, discussion of the problem and its solution should be incorporated into the README file on the next release the Fedora CD isos. A reference to the FAQ and the fedora-list page in the README file might also be useful.
I would further suggest (based on discussion in other threads) that the sig at the bottom of messages be changed to
To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Fedora FAQ: http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/#d00d Fedora list-archive: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
Additionally, I suggest that there should be written into the fedora-list webpage a completely separate section for unsubscribing entitled "Unsubscribing from fedora-list", placed immediately after the section on subscribing.
I think these suggestions, if implemented, would reduce some of the noise on the list as well as the frustration by posters over recurring questions.
