As long as the structure is the same - relatively speaking - rsync will
be fine {that is probably how all the other public mirrors are kept
up2date}.

The other packages look like they would be OK, but it seems there is two
python's installed. Possible due to an rpm --force or some such ?.
rpm can give a little bit more info about that:
$ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep
-E 'kernel|python|tkinter'|sort
I would imagine that you don't actually need the newer python:
# yum remove python-2.4.3-5
At the least this will let you know whether it is being used by anything
- with only a single python installed on my fc6 system, yum would solve
the dependencies, and remove 600 packages including the kernel, so in
that case you would say [n]o, and post the result back here.
ps. don't forget to bottom post!

Ahh, thanks very much, Dave. The two versions of python installed was my problem. I removed the newer version then everything worked fine. I also played with the 'exclude' option in /etc/yum.conf which would also help get past the python problem. Thanks again!
