I think if you run urpmi with --no-clean it will keep all of the updated rpms in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms when you do your updates. You can go home and transfer them to your un-updated machine, or leave them where they are, and add them as a source in urpmi. -- Brant Fitzsimmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] "All truth passes through three stages.
