In installing the RHLESAS3 beta, I went through a proxy server. Two actually, the Python libraries don't do http 1.1 properly and I had to use iptables rules to force it through an Apache proxy where I fixed the headers. Consequently I have logs for both Squid and Apache. This means I have a list of every file needed to do the install. If I wanted to create a CD to preproduce this installation, I could create a list of all packages & files required from those logs and create a barebones CD image. Not only that, but I could put them into the image (images if there are more than one) in the order sought and so (probably) minimise seek time on the CD. Even more, the files are all in the Squid cache. I don't need to download them again, and I've not downloaded the ISOs. -- Please, reply only to the list.
