Is there any way to easily configure *which* mirrors get looked at? I notice that seemingly every other yum run I end up accessing an overseas mirror at a very slow connection speed. It'd probably be better if my US-based machines tried to access US-based mirrors rather than European ones. Or would it be best to just (in the ,repo files) choose a close mirror as "baseurl" and comment out "mirrorlist" entirely? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry instructor / Mad scientist / Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
