Look on Freshmeat for ftp mirroring tools -- in fact, I think one or two come with MDK. ftpmirror or something like that. Set up a cron job which pulls from the mirror you want. Contact the mirror admin and let them know what you're doing, they may open rsync for you or tell you to go somewhere else. publish the directory that you mirrored on your own internal server. urpmi.addmedia the internal location. Your hdlist should still be valid after copying from the other location, I believe these things are relative pathed. Otherwise, you'll need to figure out how to generate one. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
