I had to re-install Fedora 10 on a home desktop PC. In regard to this:
Is it possible to have a local cache/ "repository" of all
1) Updates (Critical, Security, Bug-fixes), and
2) Additional installed rpm's (that were installed through PackageKit),
e.g.
Opera, Adobe Reader, etc.
so that I do not have to download all those again (800 MB + D/L)
Sure. Just put the rpms of interest in a directory, run createrepo on the
directory and set up an appropriate repo description in
/etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo for some value of *.
For myself I usually mirror the relevant arch parts of updates and
updates-testing and only put a few special things in a local repo.
As an extension of this: is it possible to upgrade a Fedora 10 install to
Fedora 11, by using the Fedora 11 DVD as a local repository ? This would
save me (and also lot of other people who do not have fast Internet
connections and/or with time-capped Internet subscriptions), a lot of
bandwidth and time (and $$).
This thread might be useful for creating a local repo

(As a 'by the by', I also prefer the Fedora 10 theme& artwork ('Solar'
theme) over Fedora 11's).
Me too! I don't understand why none of the Leonidas art work has a lion
on it. I was pretty excited when I saw the logo on the project website,
but as much disappointed when I found out "no lion" in the actual
artwork. :(

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
