Hello everyone, In FC 3 I like the *new* yum that automatically selects a mirror, very nice. There's only one problem with it. In the few updates I've done over the past few days, I always seem to get some mirror that is extremely slow in some country across the globe. Two questions: 1) Why doesn't yum find the *closest* (or one of) mirror to me? 2) When downloading updates for openoffice which are larger than normal packages, I got frustrated when I had a 2 hour download time and wanted to quit yum and do the updates later. I did a CTRL+C and got the following message: [Errno 4] Socket Error: (4, 'Interrupted system call') Trying other mirror. It then jumped to another mirror and continued the download much much much faster. After it finished the download, yum quit. I had to do "yum update" again for it to install the packages. Anyone know if there a more "graceful" way to switch mirrors, if the one I'm on is slow? Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin Old kevinold@xxxxxxxxx
