You will just set up a nightly cron job (or however you want to do it) and rsync with a public repo. You can either create your own RPM with your local /etc/yum.repo.d files for fast installation or install them manually. Use the existing fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo files as templates and change them to use a baseurl instead of a mirrorlist. You can use HTTP or FTP. I used FTP. P.S. I applaud you for allowing Fedora! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
