+When you have 3 or 4 machine to install, it is very different ;-)
+
+As I made dozens of install each year, I have made a mirror of Mandriva 
+updates on my server. Then I need to add my mirrors (with a script) and to 
+remove them after. This save me a geat amount of time.
+Now, I don't like Mandriva 2011 and I need to rebuild a lot of machines with 
+Mageia. 
+
+IMO, it is possible to create a CD (or a DVD) with the tree of updates and a 
+script which adds the CD, updates the system and removes the CD.
+
+Here is the scripts used to have a mirror of updates and add-media.sh.
+I use them for Mandriva. It can be a beginning. I wish to do better for 
+Mageia.
+
+How to unselect the updates in the list of mirrors? 
+Perhaps renaming and saving urpmi.cfg? Is this clean?
