+=== Mirrors ===
+
+Rosenthal & Rosenthal maintains mirrors (updated hourly) of both of the Netlabs repositories on the east coast of the US (New York) on a relatively wide bandwidth connection.
+
+==== Stable repository mirror ====
+
+Download this [http://www.2rosenthals.com/rpm.netlabs.org/mirror/netlabs-rel-2rosenthals.repo file] and put it into %UNIXROOT%\etc\yum\repos.d directory.
+
+It is possible to browse the stable repository URL at the following URL:
+
+[http://www.2rosenthals.com/rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/i386/ http://www.2rosenthals.com/rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/i386/]
+
+==== Experimental repository mirror ====
+
+Download this [http://www.2rosenthals.com/rpm.netlabs.org/mirror/netlabs-exp-2rosenthals.repo file] and put it into %UNIXROOT%\etc\yum\repos.d directory.
+
+It is possible to browse the stable repository URL at the following URL:
+
+[http://www.2rosenthals.com/rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/00/i386/ http://www.2rosenthals.com/rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/00/i386/]
+
+=== Managing repositories ===
+
+To disable a repository, either use:
+
+ * yum --disablerepo=[repo-name]
+
+(e.g.: yum --disable-repo=netlabs-rel)
+
+or simply edit the appropriate .repo file in %UNIXROOT%\etc\yum\repos.d and toggle the enabled line to 0, as in:
+
+  enabled=1
+
+to
+
+  enabled=0
+
+This will preserve the contents of the .repo file(s) but will instruct yum to skip over it/them when scanning for packages.
+
+When you are done, check your enabled repos with:
+
+ * yum repolist
