I use lftp to mirror off of mirrors.kernel.org. It's very easy. Copy this into a script called fc-mirror in /etc/cron.daily: #!/bin/bash lftp -f /root/.lftp/mirrors.kernel.org Make sure you chmod 755 that script! Then create a file called /root/.lftp/mirrors.kernel.org and put the following into it: open mirrors.kernel.org mirror -e /pub/fedora/core/updates/2 /var/ftp/pub/fedora/core/updates/2 In my example I put the DC2 updates on my local ftp server so that all the other servers on my network can update from a local copy. You will want to decide where to store them. -- A: Because people read from top to bottom. Q: Why is top-posting bad? Thomas Cameron, RHCE, CNE, MCSE, MCT
