Its smaller becuase I didn't included anything more than I need.  I just
have the RPMS for core and updates.  nothing from development or
testing.  I don't need them or play with them.  I'm just sticking to
whats stable. 

The selling point to me on yam is that it creates yum and apt headers
made a mirror of my chosen repos without too much of a headache.  

In minutes (well days 20kb/s down) I had a working mirror to update my
network.  With the 20kb/s down its advantages to dload once, update
many.  

 I configured yum.conf to point to my yam folders and thats it.  I run
yam -uxg to and it updates everything and recreates the headers.  You
can set this in a cron also ;)
