I don't know whether you use (and can use) the following hack to speed
up rsyncing the iso files:
- you need to have the full (or mostly complete) package tree on the target
- on the target machine manually make the tar archive out of already
rsynced package tree, rename that tar to CentOS-whatever_it_is.iso so
that it pretends to be the older version of the real .iso
- rsync the real iso (CentOS-whatever_it_is.iso) over this template iso
The test made with CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso shows:
sent 186234656 bytes received 521538 bytes 3626333.86 bytes/sec
total size is 4249268224 speedup is 22.75
Just my 2 cents...
Andrzej
