+Not liking the %MIRRORLIST system is precisely why I kept using easyurpmi.
+I could of course have typed out the pathways for my favorite sites, but
+it's easier to let easyurpmi generate them and then substitute via drag and
+drop the first part of the path for the site I want (not one of the ones
+used by easyurpmi). Guess I'll either start hand-typing the full pathways or
+using SmartUrpmi. Glad you mentioned it. Thanks.
