+URPMI-PROXY:
+------------
+
+The CGI file is meant as an alias for /mageia on a webserver; so that
+it can be used as a urpmi repository and it proxies the calls with caching to
+configured repositories. Overriding with an extra local repos and turning is
+also possible.
+
+After installation (see INSTALL file), you can use eg:
+http://your.server.com/mageia/distrib/1/x86_64/
+as an urpmi distrib repository to install from or setting it in your other
+mageia machines.
+
+It proxies all releases, versions and architectures and even iso files,
+since it just caches files. Only the files you'll effectively request,
+will be stored in the cache though. Even though some files are always checked
+before checking for cache, in the event that those files can't be checked,
+it'll use those cached files anyway.
+
+ADVANCED USAGE:
+---------------
+This standard usages will let you cache your whole network (or chroots), but
+not the machine this urpmi-proxy is running on. You can actually do this by
+configuring the sources in the config file to the ones you were using in your
+urpmi settings, and then remove all configured media from urpmi; then
+adding the media, directly from your server with this proxy url.
