       If you have a machine on your LAN that mirrors some of the needed
       tarballs, you can say 'Y' here, and configure adequate values in
       the following options.
       
-      Tarballs will be be preferably fetched from the LAN mirror, and if
-      not found there, standard places will be searched for.
-      
       Obviously, nothing prevents you from using a mirror that is in fact
       *not* on your LAN, for example on another subnet of your company's
       network, or a mirror on the Internet.
