Hi Alexander! :-) FedoraFAQ.org actually doesn't say anywhere that the file is an example. > Maybe you should insert there a clear warning about consequences > enabling all repositories in there. I see your point. The comments say that one shouldn't enable the two conflicting repo sets simultaneously. 2500 people a day (which is how many visit the site) don't. :-) I do see that a few do, though. > And a comment about choosing more > local mirrors (i.e. European users should use European mirrors mainly). Yes, I certainly see the problem, there. The goal of the FAQ is to provide the simplest, briefest possible solutions that will work for everybody out-of-the-box. I have no simple, brief way to explain to brand-new users how to use a mirror, or even really how to manually edit the file (which they shouldn't do, if they're brand-new, although that's up to them and part of their Fedora experience). However, if they do want their yum to be faster, maybe they should use mirrors. It's up to them, though, at this point. :-) Oh, and I appreciate all your helpful posts on the fedora-list, by the way. I'm always seeing them around. :-) -Max
