Thanks Jon,
I still stumbled for a moment since one has to select a user before
that feature displays.

How do I learn which mirror I am using? Yum update doesn't display that.
If I look in /etc/yum.repos.d, the only repo that is enabled is
fedora-rawhide.repo, and it has the following lines:

#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
enabled=1

Thanks.
