yes this goes fast, no timeout;
can I configure this in /etc/yum.conf?


The correct way to disable a yum plugin is to set enabled to zero in the plugin config file:

/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf
ok I did this, and then did some yum install - works without timeout
where could I tell yum to use existing mirrors in my near instead of one
on the other side of the world?

in this config I saw remarked the following:

#include_only=.nl,.de,.uk,.ie

when I set enabled=1 and removed the #-comment on this line
'yum list kernel'
shows this:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Determining fastest mirrors
epel/metalink | 8.6 kB 00:00
 * base: ftp.usf.edu
Including mirror: archive.linux.duke.edu
Including mirror: mirror.unl.edu
 * epel: archive.linux.duke.edu
 * extras: ftp.usf.edu
 * updates: ftp.usf.edu

I'm from Europe(!)

Thanks,
Walter
