It said the same thing. I just put in the lines "To install the rpmsync utility for Cooker: urpmi rpmsync" instead of the link to your file. > It shouldn't say "Use fmirror or rsync to create a local mirror and keep > it up to date."

If you've (or anyone, per my original call for comments) got suggestions for the text that should go in there instead, I'm all ears. I didn't write the page, I just act as a sort of self-appointed librarian. I've got no experience with mirroring, and I didn't want to pollute the page with something I made up. Things that I can't write about intelligently, I don't write about at all. :) - John
