Telling up2date t use a mirror

[Chris Adams]

Once upon a time, Andrey Subbotin <e-ploko at mail.ru> said:

The mapping goes like:

/releases/fedora-core-1 => .../fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os
/updates/released/fedora-core-1 => .../fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386
/updates/testing/fedora-core-1 => .../fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/i386

So, instead of:

http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1

use

http://ftp.chg.ru/pub/Linux/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386


For mirror.hiwaay.net, I put the same mapping in place as the Fedora
site, so you can just replace "fedora.redhat.com" with
"mirror.hiwaay.net".

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
