That kind of depends on what situation you are in? Are you trying to mirror an existing repo? You can just use rsync to copy the whole thing. Or, if you have a lot of exactly the same machines, make one the machines update itself via yum and then serve up it's yum cache directory to the other machines on your LAN. Or, if you actually have a few packages that you want to put in a personal customized repository you just run yum-arch or createrepo on the directory and serve up the whole thing over http/ftp. There are lots of different ways to solve these problems and it really depends on what your original goal was making even more options. I recommend Googling because there are many many articles online about how to do this. Greg
