Thanks for the reply. Are they to be copied from /var/cache/yum to the dir that is to be used as local repo ? On my PC (this is a non-networked desktop PC), this directory has: /fedora/packages/ & /updates/packages - both newly-created after I started the Update applet. I Googled for this for Fedora Linux, but mostly the results refer to networked PC's. Jay -- Fedora 10, Ubuntu 9.04 (i686)
