Hi folks! Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but I'm just getting
around to trying this rsync stuff. I tried it just like Colin
suggested (except I'm trying to update warty-powerpc.iso), and I'm
getting the following error message:

aaron at ubuntu ~ $ rsync -avzP
archive.ubuntu.org::cdimage/daily/current/warty-powerpc.iso
./warty-powerpc.iso
rsync: getaddrinfo: archive.ubuntu.org 873: Name or service not known
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(93)

This is the first time I've ever used rsync, so I don't really know
what to troubleshoot. Reading through the man pages, I thought I might
only need one colon in there, but that didn't work either. Any
suggestions?

Thanks!

Aaron
