linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi fellow fedora forum users, I am using fedora 11x86_64. I want to add a specific mirror for getting my updates from. How do i add this "http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/updates/" to be the first to be used for getting updates from. Also if this mirror does not have the latest updates available then use the defaults for the updates. I know this is probable a naive question, i have been looking for 7 hours now for this simple answer. I need to use this mirror because my internet plan is not great and the updates will not count on my data downloads. You have my thanks and gratitude in advance for your help with this. (HowTos)
