[KLUG Members] SuSE 9.1 updates mirror - tonight.

[rob at robroye.com]

I was referring to mirroring the data. FTP is easy. :)

It would be handy for updating my own systems, but it would also be a good 
learning experience. One of my boxes is on broadband at work but I'm restricted 
to dial-up at home for now after moving into the country. Having a box to 
update from locally would be a great help, especially since 3 of them are brand 
new installs and need quite a few updates. I can't tie up the phone for as long 
as they would take and the boss would get upset if I brought all those in to 
work to update them.
