I have been using it to keep a mirror for my local network. You won't have to do anything but run "yam -uxg" to mirror the servers. you can get it at http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/ By default it will download rpms for both i386 and x86_64 arch types. If you don't need one or the other just remove it from the /etc/yam.conf Unless you need to change your www dir you shouldn't need to change anything else. But below is a copy of the /etc/yam.conf file for yam .5, with a a description of each option. Just so you guys know it can also mirrors servers for Tao, CentOS, Whitebox, RHEL (Support for rhn is planned for the future), and SuSE. [main] srcdir=/var/yam <-- where the files are stored it symlinks them to the wwwdir wwwdir=/var/www/yam <-- the www dir for your hhtpd server createrepo=no <-- leave it as default arch=i386 <--Default arch type. The one specified below will overide this setting [fc2] release=2 <-- version of release arch=i386 x86_64 <-- just edit this as needed. tag=fc2 rhfc2 <-- rpm os tag iso=FC$release-$arch-disc?.iso <-- if you don't have the iso its ok leave it default ####List of servers to mirror core=rsync://ayo.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/pub/freshrpms/ayo/fedora/linux/$release/$arch/RPMS.$repo/ updates=rsync://ayo.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/pub/freshrpms/ayo/fedora/linux/$release/$arch/RPMS.$repo/ dag=rsync://apt.sw.be/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$release/en/$arch/RPMS.$repo/ dries=rsync://apt.sw.be/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/dries/fedora/linux/$release/$arch/RPMS.$repo/ freshrpms=rsync://ayo.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/pub/freshrpms/ayo/fedora/linux/$release/$arch/RPMS.$repo/ newrpms=rsync://newrpms.sunsite.dk/projects/newrpms/www/htdocs/apt/redhat/en/$arch/fc$release/RPMS.$repo/
