Why install 3.0 > when you can install 3.0-respin1? No disagreement with that at all. As I tried to convey, having the respin1 tree around is a good thing, just not what is expected at that location. If it is your personal server it is no big deal, but if it is a public mirror it might cause some confusion. Without looking too hard at it, I would guess that hardlinking would give you both trees with very little increase in used space. Somewhere Red Hat used to have a script that would go through the two trees and make the hardlinks for you... -- William Hooper
