OK - thanks; I wasn't aware of that trick. One more question:
The "mirrorlist=" spec apparently refers to a URL that has a list of
URLs that are "baseurl's" - is that correct?
If so, why doesn't livna publish a mirrorlist URL?
Thanks,
Jay
There is a mirrorlist. Unfortunately it is hosted at http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist. :(
