    What is the differance between a RedHat rpm mirror and Yum repo? 
 Will, from a layman's point of view, it's the headers, right?

    Okay, well, I am sure there are alot of rpm mirrors, which might be 
an absolute pain to try get yumified, so, am in my case, I donwload the 
headers from freshrpms.net yum repo, but download the rpm's from a local 
mirror, and idea of the conf below ...

[osRawHide]
name=Red Hat Linux RawHide - $basearch - os
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/rawhide/$basearch/os
             http://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide
 rpmurl=ftp://ftp.telkomsa.net/pub/redhat-rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS


    I can think of a whole lot of problems with slow to sync mirrors and 
things like that, but, the saving on bandwidth and time could be worth 
the investment.

    Four, I remembered what the of FRS was for, the "clean oldpackages", 
well, a little changes, could it be made something more like "move 
oldpackages", would be nice, just for history, sometimes been able to go 
one version back to debug something, can be a big saving too.
