tar -cf bitsandpieces.tar any files or directories that might \
contain files similar or identical to what's in the ISOs
mkdir severn-i386-isos
for f in 1 2 3; do
ln bitsandpieces.tar severn-i386-isos/severn-i386-disc$f.iso
ln bitsandpieces.tar severn-i386-isos/severn-SRPMS-disc$f.iso
done
rsync -av rsync://rsyncserver/.../redhat/beta/severn/en/iso/i386/ \
severn-i386-isos/ --progress
By the way, I don't see how this procedure would result in
iso's
That's the magic of rsync. It will use whatever bits you throw at it
to avoid having to download those parts of the iso images.
