Hi Jason,
Thanks for getting back to me on this ๐
Basically I am planning on creating a linux distro with KDE as the desktop as itโs the
closest thing to windows but with a very strong security focus. I do like the idea of
something modular for sure.
I believe I will need the source debug and primary packages to get started and probably a
base ISO image to get things started.
Are you on IRC by any chance?
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jason, Thanks for reaching out to me. I at this stage just want to
mirror x86_64 bit architecture which if I saw right was under 200gb.
# du -s /srv/mirror/pub/fedora-buffet/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64
178634840
/srv/mirror/pub/fedora-buffet/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64
That leaves out the arm architectures as well as the source packages.
You can do even less if don't want the ISO file or the debuginfo packages:
# du -s os
86534556 os
But of course it depends on exactly what you want.
What exactly should I look for in the repo if im going to rsync the
64
bit architecture at this stage?
Pick a mirror that does rsync, and grab just the subset of fedora-enchilada that you want.
For example:
rsync
rsync://pubmirror1.math.uh.edu/fedora-enchilada/linux/development/rawhide...
Just add your usual options and a destination. Of course, you might not be near me so you
may want to pick another mirror.
That's an installable tree and includes minimal boot images (so you can do a PXE
install or set up a VM using just what's in that directory).
Stick that on a web server and I believe you have enough to install and update a basic
rawhide machine (as long as it's x86_64, of course, and doesn't use the modular
stuff). You will of course need to configure the installed system to look at that
repository instead of using the global ones. I'm pretty sure for a base rawhide
system that's only /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo
I saw a swiss mirror and it had the full enchilada?
Plenty of mirrors have fedora-enchilada, I think. Just find one that has good bandwidth
and latency for you.
