Good evening, all, If you've ever wanted to set up local copies of Internet repositories to reduce bandwidth and increase reliability, might I recommend yum-pull? The free script handles the mirroring process for 26 distributions and 17 repositories. More details about the script and full install instructions for multiple network setups can be found at http://www.stearns.org/yum-pull/ . If yum-pull doesn't serve your needs, you might want to check out Yam at http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/ or Repo Janitor at http://www.bioxray.dk/~mok/repo-janitor.php .
