I figure it is better to ask something silly rather than do something
silly.
How do i copy the OpenSuse 11.1 repos to a local disk to get faster
access?
If i do copy them will i need to copy the oss and non-oss repos again? (I
know i will for update and maybe for others)
Is there a current repo for somewhat older ATI video cards like X1300?
How do i copy the OpenSuse 11.1 repos to a local disk to get faster
access?
Konqueror, Webbrowser, wget, Filezilla… there are many options.
If i do copy them will i need to copy the oss and non-oss repos again? (I
know i will for update and maybe for others)
No, oss and non-oss are static repositories which do not change their content.
Hi
I use the iso image of the DVD for local repositories. Then you could
use rsync to pull in the update repository.

OK. I have been wanting to learn more about wget. Lets say my target is
/media/vol1; so i should use something like:
‘wget -4 -o wgetlog<date> ftp://ftp.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/oss
/media/vol1/oss’ ?
What’s the point
Just use the .iso of the DVD
As already suggested

Because i will still need to learn how to copy the repos to accelerate
acquisition of the stuff i want that is not on the DVD.

Hi
Wget won’t cut it, use rsync as you can then configure up exactly what
you wnat eg on i586, noarch src etc. You then create a local repository
as a plain rpm local repository. Use the DVD iso image as another. For
libdvdcss, just download the src rpm as that’s all you ever need and at
the next release just rebuild it, I’ve used 2.10 for ages now…same
rpm 
Again for the rest, you can use rsync for specific rpm’s, groups etc,
it’s all in the configuration of an rsync script. Maybe a new post over
in the program/script forum asking for some basics to start with?

Hmmm. I guess that is where will go then.
This thread is finished.
