Ok, just to understand this better.
This is a script that you run via a crontab, right?
And you simply save all the files in /var/www/mirror - right? I
suppose I could just change the entry in httpd.conf to use
/data/mirror/ instead, and then rsync everything to
/data/mirror/centos/5/x86_64/5 - which is then a symlink to
/data/mirror/centos/5.2/x86_64/
How can I exclude the graphics stuff like X, KDE, Gnome, etc?
