Provide a mention of them in the REAMDE in the root CD directory with a disclaimer that "These sites are not maintained by RH/Fedora, you should always examine software licenses, etc." A similar approach taken by Mandrake at my suggestion seems to have helped them. In other words, you try to tell the new user as soon as possible that there is a community with something useful to offer. Those sites could also provide cut-and-paste examples of the alternative sites for yum.conf, perhaps wrapped in a script that inserts them in the yum.conf file and runs "yum check-update" to grab the data files as well as display a "Here's what you do with this stuff" html page and a desktop link to that page. Ambitious, yes, but appropriate to the audience. -- Hoyt
