No, the problem you're trying to solve asks for a different approach. Think about it a little bit. A Fedora x86_64 installation by default does not have access to the i686 repositories, only the x86_64 repos which contain a few i686 packages only. And one installation doesn't "know" which packages you need for the other installation. If your "fast host" is really fast, it could be convenient enough to mirror _any_ remote updates repo you need with a tool of your choice. Be it reposync, rsync, lftp, wget, curl, whatever you are familiar with. Transfer the mirrored repo to the target machine and make it available there, either temporarily or as some local enabled-by-default repo which you would update with your mirrored packages. -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.04 0.07 0.10 -- 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?
