And you should be aware that some of the mirrors are dead/slow/out of
date - doing a massive upgrade of a vanilla WBEL install will take ages
if you are using one of the bad mirrors and the system will seem to
hang.  If you are doing more than a few boxes and you have some spare
disk space, then rsync'ing a mirror locally will save you lots of hassle
now and in the future.  Info on how to do it has been on this list in
the past.
