Hello,
    Just tried a YUM update and received the following error:
 
        Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
        Server: White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 - i386 - Base
        retrygrab() failed for:
            http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/os/i386/headers/header.info
            Executing failover method
        failover: out of servers to try
        Error getting file
http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/os/i386/headers/header.info
        [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
 
    I have a http://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/os/i386
entry to my yum.conf file; it's currently commented out.  If I uncomment it
from the [base] and [updates-released] entries, will it first try the
whitebox site for updates and then switch over to the mirror if theres a
problem?
