If you have yum set to keep all your rpm updated files: Mine are in: /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/ look for that directory and export it to the rest of your LAN. By pointing the children LAN's to that updated machine's directory within their /etc/yum.conf file.

I've tried searching for the answer to this question, but "Mirror" and "Repository" are pretty commonly used words around here.
I'd like to setup a private repository for personal use. I have several machines on a network served by a satellite connection which places a pretty low limit on what I can download before I get throttled. Because of that, updating a newly installed FC3 machine already takes days and much effort.
I'd like to have one of the machines maintain a repository of all updates and then point the others machines at this local repository. This will be good for me, and good for the public mirrors as well.
Can anyone point me to directions for how to do this?
``yum'' and ``createrepo'' manual pages as well as your preferred mirroring tool, eg lftp or rsync
You may want to look into Yam. It automates most of what is needed and standardizes the setup for private repositories. You also have the opportunity to add your own packages.
