| The most common nocturnal activity of an engineering student, particularly when exams are approaching, is to fire up a first person shooter game. Now suppose, the geek in you, fed up with all the trivialities a text book has to offer, decide to challenge your friend to a deadly dual of OpenAreana. According to murphy's law, he won't have it installed, and the Internet connection will go down at the very moment. Now being a geek, though you are sure the world is conspiring against you, you won't give up so easily, would you? You will decide to see the end of it by creating a local repository of the Fedora, so that every package is ready to serve when you want them. Of course you will be able to do it yourself, but I consider it my duty to make it easier so to allow you to take up more important duties like running a OpenArena server.

| Now, having read so far, if you are not entirely sure what this is all about, let me tell you: It is about mirroring Fedora repositories. According to wikipedia, '''In computing, a mirror is an exact copy of a data set. On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site.''' When you try to install a new package into your Fedora Installtion, what you do is you open up PackageManager and type the packagename, or you simply type in the terminal <code> yum -y install packagename </code>.
