Shouldn't there be a separate directory for each version? I picked a centos mirror at random: http://mirror.atlanticmetro.net/centos/ At this location, there are directories named "5.4", "5.3", "5.2", etc. To answer your question, if I were doing a version update, I would expect to create a new directory. Then, if I were trying to conserve space, I might consider removing the old one after some period of time. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
