WOW, talk about fast response time! <grins> I'm not a distro expert, so don't really know what directories are needed or not. I would suspect though that anything prior to version 8.2 probably wouldn't be needed.
At one point I had downloaded the entire FTP site (for a single version) to a local computer, and then did a local network install. The files took about 4 or 5 GBs of space. Maybe that helps in resource planning? Thanks a bunch Erik!

It's syncing off of a primary mirror right now (1.5MB/s, not bad), and when it's done I'll put a notice up on mirror's homepage. I've never really used suse before - any chance that you could let me know what's junk that need not be mirrored? (ie, what's the 'axp' directory?) Unofficially, it's here: http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/suse/ Best, Erik. Shawn Grover wrote: > I was looking for a local mirror for Suse over the past few days.
