I prefer downloading to the /tftpboot/distro/fc-4-i386/ directory. I think you guys didn't check out my "repo-update" program located in $OSCAR_HOME/scripts. That will download the updates and leave only the newest version around, such that your master node doesn't turn into a huge fedora mirror. This is BTW the reason why I prefer to have _the_ repository and not a collection of base + updates. Users can handle this differently if they want, but I wouldn't make this now more complicated.
