Although I'm less than qualified as a sysadmin I've recently been made BOFH
of a small startup company. Obviously I made everyone use mandrake. I intend
to setup such an internal mandrake mirror and updates "medium", but so far I
haven't found a good description of how to set one up. Do you know of a good
description for this? It would be quite valuable for small company
administrators like me.

TIA

Simon
