I just discovered tonight that when you use fmirror and use a config 
file it matters what order you put the include/exclude in.

I run a internal mirror of all the Mandrake updates. Since the kernel 
updates are so HUGE and I only have a tiny modem I didn't want them all. 
I just wanted the main kernel and the source.

I had the exclude first and the includes after. I had to switch that 
around to get just the kernel-2.4 and kernel-source updates.

248Mb of updates and it hasn't even been released yet. I see two ways of 
looking at it:

"So crap that there are updates before it ships" or

"So responsive that there are updates before it ships"
