The problem is that by the time you've written a DVD and shipped it
somewhere everything is out of date. Just install from the Centos
minimal CD, 'yum update', and then 'yum install _list_of_packages_' .
Or for your own specific application, add any other required package
to its dependencies in the rpm. I've been using that approach
recently to upgrade some remote servers from 5.x to 6.x because it is
easier for the remote guys who don't know much linux to get the
network set up to a point where ssh works in a minimal install than to
fix it up after a clonezilla or similar image copy.
