I started to do the rsync approach first, and it did seem faster than
the rate yum-pull is going, but it seemed like yum-pull was easier to
setup and get going with all the stuff that I wanted. Any chance you
have some more examples than are on that page? Maybe I'm making it
harder than it needs to be. I'm not a yum expert so figuring out where
to get everything, and understanding the directory structure is a little
confusing.

I would like to do FC4 with updates and extras plus atrpms, livna,
freshrpms, maybe dag. I'd also like to do CentOS 4.2 and Suse 9.2/9.3.

Any help is appreciated.
