 I've modified the test cases for covering these 2 points.

 confirm all create/modify/delete operations work on the added repos.

 I can see that you want to make the test cases cover more conditions. But
 here I agree with Liam that if we do so, the test cases may have too much
 possible conditions and look very wired. I think we design general cases
 to serve our need and that's ok.

 So I improved especially mirrorlist repo case and now we have covered the
 following items:

 1. Check the existing repos listed in the screen.
 2. Provide new repo address by Add/modify buttion to have additional one.
 3. The method includes HTTP/FTP, CD/DVD, NFS.
 4. Verify them in next screen and after reboot.

 yum repos (hosted on one of our fedorapeople.org pages) that provides the
 needed conditions to satisfy the tests.  The command {{{createrepo -g
 comps.xml /path/to/packages}}} can be used to create a yum repo with
 package groups.  The comps.xml file used with FEdora is included in the
 repodata directory (see
 [http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/x86_64/os/repodata/6a72ae27742d1b4ac04f2eec0e5ffb0b7c909d58b9c6e346a7ee5cfb627832d4-Fedora-12-comps.xml
 comps.xml]).

 I've made some experiments on my pc by setting up a local apache to test
 it. It works but I don't know how to host them on fedorapeople.org pages
 for everyone to use. Is it very tough? :)
