I have got CentOS 5.0 i386 & x86_64 DVD's, and CentOS 5.1 i386 &

will mrepo know that CentOS 5.0 & CentOS 5.1 are different?

Answer:
If you want support for both CentOS 5.0 and CentOS 5.1, you need
to create 2 config files, one for each. (You could also put them
in the same)
centos-5.0.conf and centos-5.1.conf
If you also want the extra repositories on both, you can work with
internal links, or download it twice.
Thanx, I figured as much, seeing that each version has it's own repo on
the mirrors.
I have run mrepo -vv -u to see what it does, but it seems like it's
going to download every file from the CentOS repositories. Where do I
copy the rpm's that I have already downloaded to? For example, all
the rpm's in /var/cache/*/packages folders?
The location is in /etc/mrepo.conf defined as "srcdir = /var/mrepo".
You can opt to change this to wherever you want, or make a symlink
from /var/mrepo to wherever you want. There is a strict structure
underneath that directory.
I have already changed that to my network shared folders, and I'm busy
downloading the scripts now. Am I on the right track if I copy files
from existing servers / machines' /var/cache/yum/*/packages to the
corresponding folders on in the mrepo source folders?
Another way to find the answer to this question is to run mrepo with
more -v's like mrepo -vvvvv, so that you can exactly see what it is
doing.
Or you could opt to read the documentation that ships with mrepo that
explains all of this as well.
