mirroring rawhide

[Harry Putnam]

What can be left out when mirroring rawhide for local single user
use.  (4 home machines)

SRPMS is one of course... what else is not required for yum to work?

images ... I guess could go  ... What about `debug'.  Is that stuff
used during any of yums chores?

No, yum does not use them. They are for debugging the individual rpms
so I suspect you do not need them.

It _can_ use them.

yum install somepkg-debuginfo should work just fine.

Yes, just like any other package. I took Harry's question to mean does yum
need them. I guess I should have said it does not _need_ them. 

Sorry, for the confusion.
