Yeah, somehow I found that link the other day, and thought it needed to be reworked somewhat. That doc is nice in that works regardless of any new features Fedora Infrastructure provides (like mirrormanager), and is good for anyone anywhere that has a copy of the packages, either from media or downloaded. But it could certainly be enhanced to describe using the publicly available mirrors to keep your own tree up-to-date, as well as pointers to perhaps another doc describing how to use MirrorManager. -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
