Hello Friends I want to keep a local copy of the Fedora 7 repository, only the i386 branch. This will be updated in regular intervals, that I can break it into DVD-s (or, even CD-s) and write them, and after installing F7 in a machine, the 'yum' can be run on these DVD-s. We run a kind of a local Linux club (GLT Madhyamgram) and some of us don't have Internet Connection at all, or, a dial-up connection. So, for all these friends, and me too, because the Net connection is not always very good (this is a third world version of broadband) and so it takes quite a lot of time for 'yum' to initialize after checking the mirrors. Running 'yum' on a locally updated repository will save this time. Now, can anyone please suggest a very simple way of doing this thing? Remember I am no developer, just a teacher-writer involved in Linux. So, something that I can work myself. For Ubuntu that thing is really there, very simple instructions and that do work pretty well depending on 'debmirror' and 'debcopy'. I have done that myself, for our friends that are using Ubuntu, and me too, before migrating to F7 due to Bangla rendering problems in Ubuntu 7.04. -- das -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
