OK, makes sense. If I want to share the Smart downloads among several PCs, is it OK to make /var/lib/smart/packages a symlink to an NFS-mounted dir, or is there a better way (ie set up a local repository)? With the latter, presumably the rpms would ned to be "downloaded" (transferred over the LAN) to the local machine, whereas with the former, they don't. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
