Hi,
The script below is how I sync CentOS to a local mirror which is then used
directly by the clients, no createrepo needed.
Please note that the exclude list is something to adjust to your needs to
save space and traffic. Also the $MIRRORS list should be changed to use
best mirrors for your situation.
Hope this helps,
Simon
