Hi,

Try this.  Use the directions from servers.linux.com for setting up a 
repository.  Do the part for the "base" without a change.
For updates we make a change.

After you have updated your repository with the "yum update" command, 
the standard location for the updates is 
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages 

Make a link between the packages and the repository location for the 
updates.

ln -s /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages 
/var/www/html/yum/Fedora/Core/2/updates

Now, from a client machine, run "yum update" referencing the repository. 

Works nicely.

Pete.
