I have a yum repository that mirrors all the the Fedora versions I have installed, and I can do a local HTTP based install so much faster than via CD (I don't use NFS locally). It's fantastic. I had a few pieces I was going to write up to contribute to FedoraNEWS.org about how to use ISOs as the source for the mirrored base. This lets you save disk space, and I'm sure I'm not the first person to figure it out, but I've never seen exactly how to do it. Is this something you do? I'd be happy to contribute the pieces to both the FDP and FedoraNEWS.org. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, Tech Writer a lemon is just a melon in disguise http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41
