[mirror-admin] IITM mirror still not on list..

Respected Sir, first let me extend many thanks for making this mirror
available to public.

I believe the DVD iso, Everything/os and updates are all that needed
for users.

This is because yum points to everything/os directory for installation
of new packages and to updates for updatation.
And about carrying DVD iso it depend on the bandwidth et al, but not
carrying this does not affect yum anyway.

If the mirror is carrying i386 and x86_64 then totally everything/os
will need only 13+15 =28G.(Sans debug).

Thanks again.
