Someone had done this for CentOS 7, but not for CentOS 6. I have a VM running 6 so I am trying to create it for the previous major version. I thought there would be some obvious instructions on the preferred/recommended method for doing this, but I have failed to find them. > > Can anyone respond with any useful links on how best to do this or provide the recommended set of steps.

(Note, it is TOO BIG to fit on a DVD, so it needs to be on a thumb drive .. something that will hold at least 7.2 GB) We roll a new ISO every month, you can get the latest one here: http://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/isos/x86_64/ Currently CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1509-01.iso For 6, it is a bit harder, but not overly hard. Pick a mirror that is close from here: https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/ Rsync the /6/ tree from that mirror, excluding the ISOs if you do not want them. As an example, I will pick the mirrors.kernel.org for this example ... this command: rsync mirrors.kernel.org::centos/6/ shows this results: drwxr-xr-x 27 2014/10/19 16:36:15 SCL drwxrwxr-x 42 2015/07/28 04:57:54 centosplus drwxrwxr-x 27 2015/05/18 11:02:50 cloud drwxr-xr-x 42 2014/10/19 16:36:15 contrib drwxrwxr-x 42 2015/08/05 07:44:48 cr drwxr-xr-x 42 2014/10/19 16:36:15 extras drwxr-xr-x 42 2014/10/19 16:36:15 fasttrack drwxrwxr-x 42 2015/08/10 11:56:29 isos drwxr-xr-x 42 2015/07/25 08:20:23 os drwxrwxr-x 42 2015/08/03 05:39:35 updates drwxr-xr-x 27 2014/10/19 16:36:15 xen4 So, you can exlude all except the trees you want, and rsync the rest. Put the os and updates directories (also bigger than 4.7 GB) on a drive and mount it somewhere on the other network. You can also do the same thing with the 7/ directory. With both the 6 or 7 directories, you just use apache to show the directories and and update from them by pointing to that location on your remote network.
