Harvey J. Stein [mailto:hjstein@xxxxxxxxx] said: [stuff about downloading packages only once for multiple machines] There are two good ways to do this: 1) Create a local mirror of the yum repository on your LAN. For only two machines this might be overkill. 2) Set up a squid caching proxy, and bump up the values so it retains large files (and lots of them). Point your yum clients through the squid proxy. First machine to request a package downloads it over the Internet. Subsequent clients grab it from cache. The second option requires less storage capacity on one server than a full repository, and will automagically purge packages that are no longer needed. If I were only doing 2 clients I'd give that option a try. --Magnus
