Ok.. let’s see if we can go through this.
1. Balance between Career & Religion
A Muslim Husband must have balance.
He should work & strive in his career to provide for his family
and learn , understand and practice his deen/religion – strive for perfect balance.
2. Exercising , Staying Fit & Healthy
Many of us let ourselves go after marriage when it should be the other way around.
When we are fit , we can do more for our wives & children.
3. Dress well & with Ihsan ( Excellence )
It doesn’t mean we have to wear rich expensive clothes.
It means that our clothes are in good condition , we smell nice & we look presentable.
4. Help out around the house – Clean !
Things like working full-time , cooking , cleaning & taking care of the kids are all part of her daily regimen.
The wifey will be more than happy if we can take some of that load off her.
5. Read Quran
A Muslim Husband is the leader of a Muslim Family.
He need to be setting the examples for his wife & children.
That is why it is important we read the Quran.
6. Take your wife out — Plan Stuff.
Every wife likes to be taken out , no matter religious she is.
We also don’t have to be rich either to do so.
Go to the mall , try out new halaal restaurants or just do something fun.
Plan it. !
7. Help with meals
Even though shariah doesn’t say that a wife must cook for her husband, must do !
As a Muslim Husband, we should help with cooking dinners & preparing meals.
This will alleviate some of the load off her & she will be very thankful
we at least trying to assist – Inshallah.

I use yum just to install the packages not to download.
1- Create a directory like /usr/share/yum-custom.
2- Download the packages to that directory.
3- cd to that directory and:
# createrepo .
4- Create the repository config file:
# touch /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-custom.repo
5- copy this to that file:
[custom]
name=Fedora Custom $releasever – $basearch
baseurl=file:///usr/share/yum-custom/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Finally:
# yum install postgresql*
I think it would be much easier for everybody if postgresql had its
own set of repositories. Each time you update the directory you would
do a createrepo in that directoy. Then you could distribute a yum
config file for the repositories using the mirrors already in place.
Fedora does it but I don’t know the details. This is the default
fedora yum update config file:
$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
[updates]
name=Fedora Core $releasever – $basearch – Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
I mantain my own mirror of the Fedora repositories which are updated
at night. This is the script I use to sync it:
# cat rsync-yum-repo.sh
rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/updates/5/i386/
/html/yum/5/i386/updates
rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/extras/5/i386/
/html/yum/5/i386/extras
rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
/html/yum/5/i386/os
createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/updates/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/updates
createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/extras/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/extras
createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/os/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/os
Then my yum config files point to the local repository in instead of
to the mirrors.
I use yum just to install the packages not to download.
1- Create a directory like /usr/share/yum-custom.
2- Download the packages to that directory.

# createrepo .

# touch /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-custom.repo

name=Fedora Custom $releasever – $basearch
baseurl=file:///usr/share/yum-custom/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
