Gents, I figured this would be a nice thread to add my question to. Mrepo is installed, and functioning... somewhat. The problem is that repodata/ directories are not being pulled from the mirrors. Here is my mrepo configuration. [main] hardlink = yes srcdir = /mnt/kickstart wwwdir = /mnt/kickstart confdir = /etc/mrepo.conf.d arch = x86_64 mailto = root at localhost smtp-server = localhost [centos5] name = CentOS $release ($arch) release = 5.1 arch = x86_64 metadata = repomd yum repoview ### Additional repositories updates = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/updates/$arch/ fasttrack = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/fasttrack/$arch/ centosplus = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/centosplus/$arch/ extras = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/extras/$arch/ addons = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/addons/$arch/ ### RPMforge repository rpmforge = http://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/pub/dag/redhat/el5/en/$arch/dag/ Thanks, Vasiliy On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 2:46 PM, Rudi Ahlers <Rudi at softdux.com> wrote: > Dag Wieers wrote: > > On Tue, 4 Mar 2008, Rudi Ahlers wrote: > > > >> I have got CentOS 5.0 i386 & x86_64 DVD's, and CentOS 5.1 i386 & > >> x86_64 CD1, where do I copy these?
