I have a rawhide 14Gb rsync that is updated a few days before f9 release. I would like to convert it to a f9 Everything. Looking at mirrors, inside f9 Everything section there are only 1) Packages, repoview, repodata while in Fedora I have 1) (restricted) and also 2) isolinux, images and RPM keys
Is it correct to rsync my rawhide with Everything for 1) and with Fedora for 2) to have a network installable F9 Everything tree? Thanks, Gianluca

You can't have a network installable Everything tree (I don't think) - it's missing a few essential files to make that possible. It's intended to just be a yum repo, not an installable tree. The Fedora tree, however, which is a subset of the Everything tree, is installable. Here's what I do at release time:
1) mkdir -p releases/9/Everything/{i386, x86_64} 2) cp -lr development/i386 releases/9/Everything/i386 3) cp -lr development/x86_64 releases/9/Everything/x86_64 4) mkdir -p releases/9/Fedora 5) cp -lr releases/9/Everything/* releases/9/Fedora 6) rsync -avH --exclude-from=<some file listing excludes> --delete --delete-after <your favorite mirror> .
All of this assumes that you are in the root of your mirror, and that it follows the official mirror layout.

Don't know about the intention but its certaily usable for network installs once images from Fedora is copied|apache-aliased there. it would be nice not to have to do that for every new fedora release.

Since netinst.iso (which is a hardlink to boot.iso) now has stage2 on it, you can boot from that media and install over the network from the Everything repo.
