F12 installation woes with DVD plus online repositories

[William M. Quarles]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Fedora 12 with the installation DVD plus 
downloading extra packages and updates with an Internet connection to 
the online repositories for extra packages and updates. However, the 
speed of the installation process is seriously troubling me.

I know that yum is set up to randomly select mirrors for downloads of 
updates and post-main-installation... isntallation... of other packages 
selected to be installed through GNOME Package Kit. Would Anaconda use 
mirrors to download the packages in my case, or are they all coming off 
of the Fedora Project servers? Would I be better off downloading the 
updates and extra packages later then?

Thanks,
William
