Force yum to determine the fastest mirrors again

We are going to ship this CentOS machine overseas where the fastest mirrors will be different. We want yum to work that out on deployment there. A quick search of the files in the package yum-fastestmirror found the cache file: /var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt


Just delete or rename this file and yum will do a speed test the next time it is run.


The plugin yum-fastestmirror appears to be an EPEL addon, so may not be installed by default on RHEL or Fedora.
