So how can I rsync the repo for netinst?

For Fedora 20 x86 I do:

/usr/bin/rsync -auv --delete --exclude=debug/ --exclude=drpms/ 
rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/20/x86_64/ 
/var/flexshare/shares/repo/fedora/20/updates/x86_64

As a nightly cron job.

For the intial download of the OS, it was a similar rsync.
