That is more complicated to set up and maintain. For example, you have to list your base repositories in all config files (so dependencies can be satisfied), so now you have to have the same configuration data in multiple files, and that duplication is never a good thing. I have multiple repositories listed, but sometimes I just want to get an "official" Fedora Core update; the only current way is multiple config files, which is irritating. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
