[CentOS] "Continious Repo" vs. 'normal' Centos-Base/Updates questions
I have some questions about the "Continious Repo". Does the "Continious Repo" replace the Centos-Base/Updates repo? Is the "Continious Repo" in a standard place on the CentOS mirrors? Ie. can I just add another line to my rsync script to get this repo? It is not possible for me to just update directly off the net (I have a slow and unreliable network connection) If I cannot rsync from a secondary mirror, is it possible / allowed to rsync from mirror.centos.org? If so, what is the proper rsync URL? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

The CR repo is just a way to get faster access to updates that are the next point release.> Is the "Continious Repo" in a standard place on the CentOS mirrors?Seems to be at least on some mirrors: http://centos.arcticnetwork.ca/5/cr/ http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5/cr/ Etc. -- William Hooper
