Hi everyone,

I have a directory on my linux box in / called /rpm-updates

It has all the updates that came out on servers about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I want to use rsync to update the directory from the sunet.se updates site.

but (and here is the killer) I dont' want to have kernels on the list. none
of them.

I plan to find a safe stable 2.4.17 or 18 kernel and use that on all my
systems. (mostly for the VM, have alot of slow hardware running boxes out
there.)
also I don't see the point in downloading smp or secure or enterprise
kernels when I won't use them.

is there a way to script rsync to do what I need?

I basically want to make a shell script, probably called updates, that will
rsync out to sunet and get all updates bar those that I list in the script
to be excluded,.,.. like kernel* and iptables*

that sort of thing.

any suggestions or tips gentleman (or ladies.)
