You could do an rsync of a repository and put it on DVD. Something like... rsync -av --partial --stats \ --exclude 1 \ --exclude debug \ --exclude 2 \ --exclude SRPMS \ --exclude testing \ --exclude development \ --exclude x86_64 \ --exclude ppc \ --exclude test \ --exclude iso \ --delete mirror.cs.wisc.edu::fedora-linux-core/* /path-you-want -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Ben Bargabus Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 6:20 AM To: TCLUG Subject: [tclug-list] Downloading yum update content? Hello, Is it possible to just download but not run the packages from 'yum update'? I'm thinking about the installfest (assuming it happens, any word?) and want to have most of the updates for my system ready to go on cd or dvd prior to the event (there are about 730 MB worth so I don't want to spend an hour and half waiting for downloads there). Any ideas? Thanks, Ben. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
