hey, does anyone know the limit of packages we can ignore?  the reason why
i ask is because several repositories produce packages already available
from fedora core / fedora.us and i don't want to have then overwritten. 
(so you're talking a couple thousand packages).

unless there's a better way to create my mirror beyond using ftpcopy
(ftpcopy -x to exclude may work, but the author didn't recommend it to me)
