Oh yes I forgot that yum doesn't grab the list each update.  Need to
make sure respin2 includes an updated list and probably should have a
cut & paste version on the webpage.

Up2date on the other hand should have these lines in the sources file:

yum-mirror WBEL3 http://whiteboxlinux.org/up2date-mirrors/wbel3-base
yum-mirror WBEL3-Updates
http://whiteboxlinux.org/up2date-mirrors/wbel3-updates
yum-mirror WBEL3-Extras
http://whiteboxlinux.org/up2date-mirrors/wbel3-extras

(Evolution is forcing line wraps on me, the URLS should be on the line
with yum-mirror)

Once you have those lines up2date will hit whiteboxlinux.org each
invocation for an updated list of mirrors.  Eventually I hope to have a
cron script here check every hour or so for mirrors that are up and
servicing requests.

Yes I need to list a couple more rsync sites.  Gotta get time to rework
the website in several other places too.
