You have to patch the code, as the URLs for the fedora repositories are
currently hard-coded in modules/repos/ksmain.50.repos.py:

    if repo == "fedora":
        repos["fedora"] = ("mirrorlist", "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-%s&arch=i386" % fver)
    elif repo == "fedora-updates":
        repos["fedora-updates"] = ("mirrorlist", "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f%s&arch=i386" % fver)
    elif repo == "fedora-updates-testing":
        repos["fedora-updates-testing"] = ("mirrorlist", "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-testing-f%s&arch=i386" % fver)

Change them to something like this:

    if repo == "fedora":
        repos["fedora"] = ("baseurl", "http://my.mirror.site/path/to/fedora")
    elif repo == "fedora-updates":
        repos["fedora-updates"] = ("baseurl", "http://my.mirror.site/path/to/fedora-updates")
    elif repo == "fedora-updates-testing":
        repos["fedora-updates"] = ("baseurl", "http://my.mirror.site/path/to/fedora-updates-testing")

You may disable fedora-updates-testing, as Fedora 11 is currently retired.
