But, I do have some DVD's with 5.0 (both i386 & x86_64), so I'm not going to bother with 5.0 on the local repository. I'll only rsync the 5.1 (i386 & x86_64) files from the remote servers. We still have a lot of i386 CPU's, and some 64bit CPU's as well, so it will help a lot to have the 32bit files / rpm's as well -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stugg
