Well, to be fair, it does make more sense to me to have the directory layout that way. If I want to mirror the updates I can do so by getting one directory (recursively): redhat/7.3/updates/ With the other layout, I'd have to grab multiple directories in order to have all the architectures available to me, ie: redhat/7.3/i386/updates redhat/7.3/x86_64/updates Which just seems plain silly if you ask me. Updates for one disto should all be under one directory or people (like me) will be confused. I could care less that 'everyone does it this way', it just happens to be the way that makes the most sense (to me) - I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in my last message about this point. -Jeff P.S. - you mean there are other ways to get on the Internet besides AOL? ;) On Tue, 2004-01-20 at 09:09, Jesse Keating wrote: > On Tuesday 20 January 2004 09:08, Jeff Sheltren wrote: > > I like what's behind door number two. ie: > > redhat/7.3/updates/i386 > > > > It just makes more sense to me since that is what I'm used to seeing > > on redhat mirrors. > > grr, I hate seeing "well this is better because thats what I'm used to > seeing".
