Introduction
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 offers, 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.
