It is best scripted, so create a file (touch <file>) and edit it to contain:
#!/bin/bash
rsync -vrltDuz --rsh ssh --delete \
rsync://rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/oxygen/ \
/mnt/cdrimage/oxygen/
Then set execute permission for it:
chmod u+x <file>
To invoke it, connect to the internet and issue:
./<file>
Works like a dream! With V90, the initial download will take a long time
(30 hours minimum, more probably 50) and updates are requiring about a 3
hour connect every 24 hours.
You can interrupt it ^C any time and resume later without any loss of data or
time. Add an additional v (-vvrltDuz) if you want more feedback as to what
is going on.
