For the intial download of the OS, it was a similar rsync. You'd want to sync the development/rawhide tree.

I' m having other weird issues with F16 freshly installed copying my backup back through USB: - transfer speed decreasing from 30 MB/s down to 5 MB/s very quickly - the machine taken down to its knees after about 30 minutes of copying (I'm trying to copy ~90GB). The laptop is 5 years old (dual core 2Ghz) with 2GB of ram. I'll check on bugzilla and will try to install Rawhide differently, check how USB copying performs and so on. Thanks again.

Sending this email from Rawhide. I used a F16 image and anaconda as described in the wiki: I changed the repo during installation to only enable rawhide and do a net install. It worked like a charm. So thanks a lot. Next email will be about my most immediate issue: CPU getting over 100C within minutes and machine shutting down. Thank you for all the tips.
