Thanks,
I'll give it a try so that I can update my own systems from my downloads from yam.
Sound good. Lonnie

Seemed like more than that (5.5G) if you included everything:

especially in the development directory which has many platforms.
I have been reading over the YAM docs but the light bulb has not come on yet to really show me how it is any better than simple rsync in a cron script.
Thanks,

Its smaller becuase I didn't included anything more than I need. I just
have the RPMS for core and updates. nothing from development or
testing. I don't need them or play with them. I'm just sticking to
whats stable.
The selling point to me on yam is that it creates yum and apt headers
made a mirror of my chosen repos without too much of a headache.
In minutes (well days 20kb/s down) I had a working mirror to update my
network. With the 20kb/s down its advantages to dload once, update
many.
I configured yum.conf to point to my yam folders and thats it. I run yam -uxg to and it updates everything and recreates the headers. You can set this in a cron also ;)
