I have downloaded & installed mrepo on my SME 7.3 (CentOS 4.6) server, which is our main file & email server, and internet gateway.
I have got CentOS 5.0 i386 & x86_64 DVD's, and CentOS 5.1 i386 & x86_64 CD1, where do I copy these? I have setup /etc/mrepo.conf.d/centos5.conf with both i386 & x86_64 arch, but how will mrepo know that CentOS 5.0 & CentOS 5.1 are different?
That is the first real misconception you need to overcome. 5.0 and 5.1 aren't really "different". They are the same software at different patch levels. Similar to Windows XP with service pack 1 and Windows XP with service pack 2. There are very few reasons to stay with an older release of the software, and if you don't know what those reasons are, you don't need to use the older releases.
