CentOS - Oct 2009 - For building my local repo, how large is 5.4 update?

I have run a local repo for Centos updates for some time.

I suppose, at this point I could just delete the 5.3 update directory 
and rsync the 5.4 directory...

But how large is the 5.4 update directory?

Oh, just for i386, without /debug and is there anything else I should 
not include?  For example for my FC11 update repo I also exclude drpms.

So it looks like it is a download of the OS tree, not the UPDATES tree.

Great, and how large will that be?

Hi Robert,

You actually bring up a good item here. I am starting to learn more  
and deploy CentOS. I should run a local repo too, save bandwidth, etc.

Do you have a tutorial for setting up a local repository? Can one  
store, say multiple versions , just in case?

Best,

I mirror both os and updates, since when you upgrade, you need os rpms too...
So far, updates is small.
