Guest ckassab Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi: I have 10 computers in my network and one of them is the gateway to Internet. I would want to download the security updates only once and then save the files in one computer and update from the other computers reading from my local repository. Is there a way to do this in Mandrake Linux? Thank you in advance for your response. Carlos Kassab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpank Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) **WARNING: I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT NETWORKS. THIS IS JUST A WILD-ASS GUESS** Could you set up the computer that has the updates on it as a urpmi source, and then update the other computers from the local source, rather than the usual ftp mirrors? If it's any help, there's an FAQ on urpmi and also a man page (type 'man urpmi' and 'man urpmi.addmedia' into the console). Like I said above, I have no idea about networks, but I can't see any reason that you couldn't set up your local source in the same way as an FTP source, as long as you have a stable address for it. Hope this helps, or draws the attention of someone who knows more about these things than me :woops: Edited May 27, 2004 by alexpank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
