The general way to mirror would be 'rsync -azvH remote-mirror.org::somelocation/. /some/local/dir/' If you actually look at the mirrors, you'll notice that 4.1, 4.2, etc are all empty. See -> http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.2/readme It's generally best to use 4/ instead of 4.1 etc, as 4/ will always point to the current release. > A smal comment on how the repos relate to version numbers would be > really appreciated. As in the readme linked to above. 4 represents the major version (there's only centos 4, not centos 4.0, 4.1 etc) and the .X number represents the minor version, which corresponds to the upstream vendor's quarterly updates. > With best regards. > Sanjay. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
