In my Fedora 10 system I already have the usual yum caches at:
/var/cache/yum/fedora/
/var/cache/yum/updates/
Is there a command-line switch to specify to livecd-creator to use those
caches? If possible, it could save quite some bandwidth...
I rsync'd the packages in /var/cache/yum/fedora/packages/ to a temporary
directory in /var/tmp/livecd and then ran livecd-creator with
--cache=/var/tmp/livecd but it proceeded to download all the packages
needed for the CD anyway.
Ideally, livecd-creator would be able to use those packages that I already
have in the system... have I missed something obvious?
Thanks... :-)
