This is an update to the rsync script in the parent of this
message. You are referred to the parent and grandparent and
great-grandparent messages for further explanation.
Using this script, total 7.2beta tree download is now 971MB, a
considerable saving from a complete download and from the combined
size of the two CD iso9660 image files. This saving for en_GB users
only is the whole point of the exercise.
The script is easily alterable for en (USA) users or for use in other
locales - if you do that, you might like to publish it here for the
benefit of other users in your locale. If you do modify the script,
use the rsync n option to dry run test before you do the real
download.
Note 1 (repeated): Since cooker and 7.2beta are running in tandem
until 7.2beta is frozen, downloading of cooker is no longer done.
Caution: This will cause your entire cooker tree to be deleted, so
rsync a copy of your 7.2beta tree to your cooker tree first before
requesting a
cooker rsync download. If you still want cooker, remove the
'--exclude=cooker/ \' line.
Note 2 (revised): the kde-i18n-* locale RPMs and the new
linuxconf-lang-* locale RPMs, the installer's locale po files, the
netscape locale files, the mandrake_doc locale files and many other
non-en locale-specific files are not downloaded.
Note 3 (repeated): The contrib RPM tree is also downloaded. Present
size is 474MB (worth avoiding if you do not want it). If you do not
want it add a '--exclude=contrib/ \' line.
Note 4 (repeated): This rsync download script aupports only hard disk
installs with English(UK) language and US international keyboard. It
has been tested with a customized - install - development - all
packages, hd install.
Good Luck!
