How would one go about applying FC16 updates to a system with no Internet access? The system will be freshly installed via DVD, and then requires all the associated updates. Is there any way to download the updates on another machine (that has Internet access), copy them over to the target system and apply them that way? i.e. create a 'local' repository so to speak?
Pick your favorite updates mirror. Get a USB drive.On a machine with Internet access, set up a script job to rsync the updates repository to a directory on the USB drive.
Run the script anytime you feel like it. Plug the USB stick into your target server.On the target server, drop something in /etc/yum.repos.d that points to the directory on the USB drive. Set it to "enabled=0" by default, to stop packagekit/yum from whining, all the time.
Run "yum update --enablerepo=[label] -y update", to update the target server.
