What I meant is that you can get repos' configuration (at least for default repos) during installation: 1) switch to shell (with Ctlr+F2) 2) ls /etc/anaconda.repos.d/ 3) cat SOME_REPO_CONFIG_FILE When I use this for 'fedora.repo' file I can see following line: mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch which reveals the fact that yum (ran during the installation) will use MirrorManager running on mirrors.fedoraproject.org (which is the same as in an already installed system). > > > But I doubt there are any different from urls > > used everywhere else. > > The tail of the path (the filename and last few directory names) is certainly > the same, but each mirror is free to place the tree arbitrarily in its > filesystem, and many do. As I mentioned before, the MirrorManager is responsible for returning the right mirrorlist already sorted out from the best mirror to the worst one (see [1] if you are interested). You can test it by entering mirrorlist URL into your web browser. So I really doubt it's somehow specific for the bfo.
