I know you can do it with the yum-plugin-fastestmirror plugin. /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf has some comments about how to prevent access to certain mirrors. In that same directory is a blacklist.conf file, but there are no comments in it so I have no idea what it might blacklist. (It

Never mind. I'll just chalk another one up to the wrecking crew, install fresh in a 15G partition and figure out where to go from there. And the engineers whose hubris pushed this accursed merge /usr project have my eternal disrespect. On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 1:31 PM, Joel Rees wrote: > Well, I

After latest updated my system finally has uptime more than 7 days! That was not possible before, it would freeze every 3-5 days. I looked at latest updates my guess is that latest kernel update is "to blame" for my system not freezing anymore: Dec 17 08:35:31 Installed: kernel-3.6.10-2.fc17.x86_6
