No Choice of Mirrors in New YaST
I just wrote:
I know there have been a lot of discussions about problems related to YaST, Zen, etc., and maybe this was also discussed earlier, but I don't recall it. Anyway, in 10.0, when I ran YOU, the first screen that came up gave me a choice of mirrors. Now, that screen is completely bypassed and YaST uses some default. I tried looking at some of the other options under Software. Online Update Setup seems to only be talking about automatic updating. Online Update Configuration doesn't have anything to do with selecting mirrors either. Has this option been completely eliminated?
Thanks, Greg Wallace
Now I see that Online Update Configuration does pick a mirror for you, but it doesn't allow you to do any selecting. Greg Wallace

You can change it in the Installation Sources dialog. (However you have to look up a mirror near you yourself.) Ciao, Marcus

Well, I added another mirror via the Installation Sources dialog. For some reason, it gave me an error saying it already existed (in, I think Zen), but it allowed me to go ahead and add it to the list anyway. I tried Online Update again and it still went directly to an server without asking me which one to choose. I noticed in the Installation Sources dialog that you can move the sources around. Does that mean that Online Update will always go to the one at the top of the list and you don't get to choose your mirror at the time you run YOU (like you used to be able to)? Thanks, Greg Wallace
