But anything that has since been updated will be grabbed from the net. That will minimise some of your problem. Basically, change the fedora.repo file to point to a local filesystem, rather than the internet. There are some "local repo" programs that can take care of that sort of thing for you. And, you can increase the time your yum caches the info, so the next install will use the last downloaded info for a longer period. > Does anyone know if it is possible to get ALL Fedora applications etc. > (i.e. a complete repository) on DVD There's too many to fit on one DVD, and putting them across several DVDs doesn't get around the problem of holding onto stale files. Other things to consider: Does your ISP offer file downloading from themselves at a reduced cost? Is there a computer shop near, or one that you don't mind using over the net, you that you can buy burnt Fedora discs? Is there a local Linux group that you can take a PC to for an install session? -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
