But in reality, after you install mrepo and configure (and it took, me a

Craig, I quite understand the benefits of a synced mirror (we have them
at work) but at home I don't have disk space to use. :-(

16GB?

I have everything from FC6 to today mirrored at home, 32 and 64 bit.
It's ~126 GB.

Luckily, 500GB drives are pretty cheap these days (last I checked Newegg
had them for about $109 with free shipping).
