Chaps,
Is cobbler overkill or is it simpler to set up a local repo and rsync it with a mirror?

Personally, I think cobbler overkill if all you want to do is have a local copy of the CentOS repo for updates and occasional installations.
I just mirror the os/ and updates/ trees (about 20G for CentOS 5.4). I point lighttpd at the root of the mirror tree, enable directory listings, and push a standard CentOS-Base.repo file that points to the local mirror to all my CentOS machines.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I was thinking. By the way, is bottom-posting prefered on this list?

I prefer it -- and I think most list members do, except those tethered to mobile devies with screens the size of matchbook covers.
Since you're asking, I'll also toss in that it's considered good form to trim the quoted section of the message to only the material bits.

Yes, please. I always do, and five copies of folks' corporate disclaimers/warnings is so informative....

Hmmm, not a common name, Paul. Any relation to the late author?

None of which I'm aware.
Do you have any relationship to author Philip? :-)
