The purpose of rsync is to reduce the load for downloading some package "A+" when you have an older version, "A" already on your system. It finds the differences between "A" and "A+" and only downloads them and updates your local "A" to "A+". If you don't already have "A", you will need to download the whole of "A+". To reduce the dimensions, find a copy of Mandrake and use dd to read the CD into a regular file on your system. Then use the rsync. Let me know if you need more details on how to do this. > Sunet tell to don't use the compress option, it's true?
