There should be example baseurl lines in the repo files which will be commented out by default. Here's an example of how I use this to manually use my local ISPs mirror for the base repo: [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os baseurl=ftp://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=ftp://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 Regards, Oliver > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
