I would like to mirror a copy of the fedora 7 distro for my LAN. However, i need to add certain packages that are not in the DVD as well such as the XFCE.
How can selectively download such extra package from the internet repository along with all it's dependencies.
I thought yum was only for installing. I need to save the copy of RPMs from my upstream mirror into my local LAN repo. and not install it immediately. Or are there options that I am unaware of?
