-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Other things that it could be used for would be for the download of large Main packages. For example the updated Kernel-source or kde packages. Urpmi could ask for the CD to be inserted grab the origional versions of the package's off that and then use rsync to update them to the new/current version of the kernel-sources/kde after all most of the kernel doesn't change between updates It would save abit of download time for dialup users. Theres over 100MB's of updates for mdk 9 if the orgional packages where copied off cd and then updated to the new versions using rsync you'd probably save at least HALF of that bandwidth and a fair bit of time! Or on systems with LOTS of storage space urpmi could creat a copy of the cooker repostitory on the disk and just update the differences when ever new versions are released and install instead of having to download the complete package each time it was changed.
