Hi all!

Since it would be a terrible waste of bandwidth if I downloaded the
packages I need over and over again (for multiple machines in two
locations) I was thinking about creating a local mirror of the
package-collection.

Now the big question: how do I do that?
My problem is: every package exist at least twice (in one category and
in "All"); so can I mirror all directories except "All" and create an
own "All" directory containing links to the packages in the downloaded
directories?

I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks!
Holger
