MirrorManager expects that if you have a directory, you have the _whole_ directory. yum metadata does to. yum will request the file because the metadata says it's there; the mirror will return a 404 which the user will see and then move to the next entry in the mirrorlist; repeat... it'll work, but it'll be ugly. -- Matt Domsch Linux Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
