Is is possible to add a reminder to check a site for 
hints on setting up mirrors to yum and up2date.

This is such a COMMON question that if FCn is going to be popular
it needs to be addressed.

Perhaps in the tool  "yum configmirror"  or "up2date --config"
There could even be a package
      yum-up2date-mirrors*.rpm
or a web site to distribute information on the famous mirrors.

To start all it needs to have is a man page of text.
