Provide a mention of them in the REAMDE in the root CD directory with a 
disclaimer that "These sites are not maintained by RH/Fedora, you should 
always examine software licenses, etc."

A similar approach taken by Mandrake at my suggestion seems to have helped 
them. In other words, you try to tell the new user as soon as possible that 
there is a community with something useful to offer. Those sites could also 
provide cut-and-paste examples of the alternative sites for yum.conf, perhaps 
wrapped in a script that inserts them in the yum.conf file and runs "yum 
check-update" to grab the data files as well as display a "Here's what you do 
with this stuff" html page and a desktop link to that page. Ambitious, yes, 
but appropriate to the audience.
