build a repository
Hi,

i'll explain my problem in few words:

i have to create a repository with mrepo on a RH. I see many procedures on internet and even in linux mag, but there isn't any case where the iso and rpm deposit aren't placed on the repository but on a remote system (a NetApp filer in my case).

So i wonder if it's possible (i don't really see why it could be impossible) to place my data on a remote machine?
And if it's possible, i wonder how configure mrepo:
the line iso = RHEL$release.?-$arch.iso in the /etc/mrepo.conf.d/rhel5 should be modified to iso = file:///'path to my remote netapp directory' or not?

In fact, i have some difficulties to understand what link wiil be created by mrepo, and what directory i'll have to mount with the mount command (mount -t cifs 'remote_path_where_iso_stored' ....).

i hope i am clear enough.

Thx for your help.
