It's cake. 1) Identify a Linux box to act as your repository server. 2) Install ftp or http server software to grant clients access to your repository. 3) Install the yum suite on the server. 4) Mirror the RPM's that you want to host. For example: rsync -aqH --delete mirror.physics.ncsu.edu::redhat/linux/9/en/os/ /local/path/to/redhat/9/base/ 5) "yum-arch /local/path/to/redhat/9/base/" 6) Share this path through ftp or http. Set up your yum clients to point to this path.
