I've successfully mirrored SL41. I've even got a local site built and functioning and installed on 100 or so systems. My problem is updating the distribution. If I use rsync or lftp as described in the howto and tips to update my mirror from scientificlinux.org then it deletes my site. Yes, I've tried the "-- exclude" options but they exclude things on the remote end. I need it to ignore the site directory on my end. I'm not very experienced in using rsync or lftp so I may be missing something obvious. Does anyone else use the site feature of SL? How have you solved this? David -- David M.
