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.
