Assuming I am insane and the rest of the world is sane someone please
straighten me out. he abobe mirrorlist for extras simply does not work
fo me. My experience is the correct address is something like:
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/extras-5-US-i386.txt
of couse tis could be slightly altered using $releaseserver and $arch.
Where have I gone astray?
