Jens, RIchard Thanks for the info - much appreciated. Is there any way to download all the required updates (on a machine that has Internet access, obviously) and save these downloads for the creation of the local repository you speak of? Let me clarify. The target system (with no Internet access) is in a customer site. The development system, which essentially 'mirrors' the target installation, is in our own lab and *does* have Internet access. So for us to update our (development) system is straightforward, and this system automatically 'knows' which updates to download as part of FC16's package update software. Since this system mirrors the target one, what would be ideal is for it to not just automatically install the updates, but merely download them as a first step - such that they can then be copied to a local repository that I will create. Then I can use this repository to update the development system as well as the target system. In other words, if the development system can be used to automatically download but *not* install the updates, it saves me the trouble of having to 'manually' determine which updates are required for the systems. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
