When I wrote about downloading large upgrade files I'm afraid I didn't
make myself clear.
A friend and I both use Fedora Core 3 and dial up modems. We download
large files at an internet cafe onto CD then transfer them to the
up2date folder on our machines.
What would be nice would be for us to share the download of medium
sized files to effectively cut the download time in half. Unfortunately
the Update Agent seems to delete the downloaded RPMs or at least
convert them to HDRs. Is there a way of getting the Redhat Update
Agent to save a copy of the RPMs which could be transferred to disk?
Peter.
