Any of the mirrors listed on the whiteboxlinux.org website are full
mirrors and have the YUM data there. if you edit
the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file you you can disable the yum-mirror
lines and then set the main 3 yum lines to point to your favorite mirror
(ie.. FAST mirror).  The format is pretty self explanatory as the
sources file is very well documented.
