The command [tcsh] find /var/cache/yum -name mirrorlist.txt should give you the list of files to edit (which can be done only as root, so take care!). The problem is that mirrorlist.txt is updated regularly. Any changes you make will be lost. A more permanent solution is probably to edit the "mirrorlist=" line in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo. Google for something like [fedora yum mirrorlist local mirror] for the dirty details. The basic steps is to (a) create a local list of mirrors and (b) point yum toward that list. The main disadvantage of this is that you have to update the list of fedora repositories manually. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
