Thanks for that, here is my file, I have made the changes and I only have 1
entry, which I assume should work OK ?

# uncomment one of the alternates below.

#yum WBEL-3.0 http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/os/i386
#yum updates-released http://whiteboxlinux.org/pub/3.0/en/updates
#yum updates-testing http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1

yum WBEL-3.0 ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/os/i386/
yum updates-released
ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/3.0/en/updates/
# yum WBEL-3.0 ftp://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/3.0/en/os/i386/
# yum updates-released
ftp://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/3.0/en/updates/

### an local directory full of packages
### format
#dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/


# multiple versions of all repos except "up2date" can be used. Depenencies
# can be resolved "cross-repo" if need be.

Thanks

Denis
