You can get a > look at it here: http://fedoraproject.org/extras/4/i386/repodata/ I started to do the rsync approach first, and it did seem faster than the rate yum-pull is going, but it seemed like yum-pull was easier to setup and get going with all the stuff that I wanted. Any chance you have some more examples than are on that page? Maybe I'm making it harder than it needs to be. I'm not a yum expert so figuring out where to get everything, and understanding the directory structure is a little confusing. I would like to do FC4 with updates and extras plus atrpms, livna, freshrpms, maybe dag. I'd also like to do CentOS 4.2 and Suse 9.2/9.3. Any help is appreciated. James
