What are you talking about? have you looked in /var/cache/yum? Do you know what's in there? It's got a directory for each of your repositories listed in your yum.conf file. Then it has packages and headers that your machine downloaded in those directories in subdirs. you could run yum-arch /var/cache/yum and make it into a yum repository if you wanted to. No problem. > Yes. Does anyone know of any public yum servers which run yum-arch > immediately after the mirror process runs? The reason dulug has not done this in the past is that the machine is fairly over-taxed. We have a new machine that is being setup for our new mirror server. When it comes online we will do this. -sv
