Hi all,
  I am trying to figure out how to build a localised YOU repository for the
Suse 9.1 patches.... I am constantly having to re-pull patches, so a local
copy would benefit both myself, and I guess SuSE in general due to lower
bandwidth use.

Can anyone point me in the direction of help ?  
I have looked at /etc/youservers and have seen in Yast where I can set it to
use an NFS directory, but I am stuck now...

Where do I get the updates from ??? - ie, can I rsync a specific folder
nightly to maintain the local copy ???

Where do the updates need storing ?  (I guess this is irrelevant as if I
have the local copy, I can export it via NFS and then specify that patch in
Yast.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please ??

Richard
