It's not really that difficult just go to the url in question. If you
enter it into your browser exactly as it appears, you'll get an error
about releasever. replace $releasever with '6', and arch with i386,
and you'll get a mirrorlist. The resulting url looks like this:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=core-6&arch=i386

This means that the variable repo is set to core-6, and the variable
arch is set to i386. It's very easy.
