Hi Bryan, Thanks for this, I now have a fully working local mirror of main, contrib, jpackage and updates! (weighing it at just over 7GB, as its RPMS only, (no source RPMS).
Next thing is to get my PLF mirror up and running. I noticed that they have a link on their site for if you would like to mirror their repository. However, it reads to me as though its for public mirroring. My site is meant for internal use only (the server isn't accessible to the outside world), would I still be permitted to use their rsync ??

(oh and how much disk-space is used) Yes. Using Rsync, there are instructions for doing so on the Mandrakelinux download site. The mirror size totally depends on what you mirror. You can mirror the Official files, Community files, Cooker files, ISO Files, and Updates separately. There is also the optional Contrib section, PLF repository, and a few others. If you want pretty much everything, plan on about 16GB. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer ************** E-mail Disclaimer ************** This e-mail message is confidential and for use by the addressee only.
