yes this goes fast, no timeout; can I configure this in /etc/yum.conf?
The correct way to disable a yum plugin is to set enabled to zero in the plugin config file:
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf
ok I did this, and then did some yum install - works without timeout where could I tell yum to use existing mirrors in my near instead of one on the other side of the world?
in this config I saw remarked the following:
#include_only=.nl,.de,.uk,.ie
when I set enabled=1 and removed the #-comment on this line 'yum list kernel' shows this:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Determining fastest mirrors epel/metalink | 8.6 kB 00:00 * base: ftp.usf.edu Including mirror: archive.linux.duke.edu Including mirror: mirror.unl.edu * epel: archive.linux.duke.edu * extras: ftp.usf.edu * updates: ftp.usf.edu
