Once you've got them locally in your private lan, network-speed shouldn't be a problem.
Only IF you have that extra machine with the extra storage. Have you measured what the entire update repo of, say, 12.1 has, in megabytes? Or probably gigabytes? Not everybody can do that. -----Original Message----- Yes, i can measure those sizes, for 12.1 (the biggest): du -sh suse/opensuse_12.1/* 16G suse/opensuse_12.1/install 17G suse/opensuse_12.1/source 54G suse/opensuse_12.1/update Regarding occupied space, smallest sata-drive i can buy, is 500GB for less than 40 euro's. usb-disks same size for 50 Euro. Perhaps if you have to download via a metered gprs connection, you have to think twice. Otoh, if you have to maintain several machines, you only have to get those rpm's only once, instead of getting the same packages for each machine. Even with slow lines: Most people sleep 8 hours, in which you can transfer quite some data ;-) hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
