To do this nicely really requires a sane mirror list (see my post to fedora-devel-list I think from over the weekend). Mirrors are all organized differently, so you can't just assume any one layout :/ You are CERTAINLY correct on the layout of the mirrors, but worst case scenario, you could just use RH server information, which is fairly consistent (same as you do with the NTP server information in anaconda). At least from my country, access to RH servers is much (much as in a few orders of magnitude) slower then to local metropolitan mirrors. With a fiber optic metropolitan connection, but only 64/128 kbps international access you will definitely prefer manually typing the path to the local mirror rather then wait for ages. In my case, I already know by heart 3 major local mirrors and just randomly switch among them when I need to download. The difference is 6 MB/sec (local mirrors) versus 3 kb/sec (RH servers). Not to mention that, since I have a lot of systems to take care of, I have a local (local as 'placed in my company') mirror of the distributions I currently use, which is rsync-ed with an official mirror, and periodically has the updates included in the installation tree, so as to avoid applying them after each new install. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 35236 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
