cooker along with the mirror and the wget instructions can the rsync
instructions be added? and how do you use rsync to get cooker with out getting
all the .src.rpm's?

How to download Cooker?
Please use a mirroring tool like fmirror
(libc6 for cooker) or wget (wget -rm ftp://ftp.......com/pub/cooker) or Rsync. Once
you have finished the
mirroring stage, please launch again the
mirroring tool in order for checking if everything has been mirrored and if it has not
changed during
the mirror.
New: you can also use a program called
"mirror". Get it from ftp://sunsite.org.uk/packages/mirror/mirror.tar.gz - If you
already have a local
copy of the mirror, to set your local
timestamps equal to the remote timestamps, run it like this:
#!/bin/sh
mirror -d -T > ./cooker.mirror
And you won't have to get all the files
again just because of timestamp differences.
