Just got a cable modem this week, so I've never done a lot of mirroring. Anybody feel like giving me a quick and dirty description of how to use rsync to update the oxygen mirror I've already got. I've just been redoing the whole thing when I want to try a new install (damn, 250kps is nice:). Danke. -- David Hart Vincity Design *Proudly sent from Linux Mandrake 6.1*

(rpms are already compressed in gzip) I think that site maintainers should make the decission themselves on whether they want make an ISO or maintain just a mirror. There is nothing that says a site must have either or both. That way the Dev team would not have to worry about building ISO just updating so site mirrors can get fixes. Let the maintainers of mirrors handle the decission on whether to build or not to build. Arcane :)

RE: [Cooker] ISO vs syncing (was: Could not open default font 'fixed')
I posted earlier today, about a failed upgrade attempt. I tried the upgrade again, and it finished, however I was using the ISO image, and am now recieving the same error (Could not open default font 'fixed')... Why is the ISO updated as regularly as the rest of the files? Atleast daily or every other day... Using rsync is great if your system is working, but well, mine is not now... How can you get this to work on a Windows system? I tried to download the current files, but I didn't get the file links that you get with using rsync on a Linux system. Can someone tell me which RPM I need to download that corrects this error so that I can start the X? I just signed on to the list today, and I am sure this has been addressed already...
