"man reposync" or "reposync --help" would also have demonstrated more cluefullness on my part. Oh well, should have just gone to bed earlier. :-) Will check it out and add the info, but probably not before I get back to town late in the week.

Sound like what I am looking for (real time synchronization). I didn't know it was in the yum-utils package.Didn't know it existed until your mention of it also. "reposync -n --repoid=updates" Is what I am looking for. It will sync only the newest package updates. That really saves a lot of work on my end. Thanks for pointing it out. :-) JohnStanley ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

I've got this done at home over the weekend - its amazing how much work one can do when there is no internet access - as soon as the link comes back on [1] I'll do the poking on the VM to get you guys access. Essentially, its a complete forum dump from a few weeks back along with userid's. Email's replaced with @centosproject.org and passwd's replaced by random generated ones from expect's mkpasswd. The other userdata including IM details etc are intact. Perhaps setup a http basic auth around the site and post a username/password to the list here, while that will be public - it should keep google etc from picking up on that and using that info. - KB [1] : http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/news/generalbriefings/gen02709.do ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

( yes, you would need some other way to get images/ down - reposync wont help with that - cobbler + reposync, if you are using that set will work though : but then thats a whole different ballgame ) - KB ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
