Listmates, When I have a number of machines to update, I usually just create a temporary directory and download the needed rpms and then install from there. I generally use wget, but then I have to delete a bunch of stuff I didn't need link index.html, the ymp files, etc. I was going to try a simple rsync of the rpms, but I can't figure out how to form the command line. I was trying to download the compiz i586 rpms with the following (and several variations). I'm normally very good with rsync, what's the trick here? rsync -avn download.opensuse.org:/repositories/X11\:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/i586 . Is it just not possible? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
