It used to be basically copy all the RedHat/Fedora/CentOS directories

that should still work, you can even loop mount the dvd iso and just use
I thought that would destroy the repo info?
that behind a http / ftp server
I couldn't find a DVD ISO, what I have is six CD-sized ISOs. Smallish
ones at that, doesn't RH/Fedora make them a little bigger?
They can only be 650 KB
Of course I meant 650 MB :P
Don't you have 700 Mb media? These are all okay:

I have 700mb media ... BUT ... that is not how RHEL is setup to build.
That is not the standard (650 MB is), nor are 700mb CDs supported on all
the ARCHs we do CDs for.
?? Really?
I imagine we could FORK RHEL and redo a lot of things, but I bet people
expect us to instead CLONE it instead.
The size hard-coded into Anaconda isn't usually the size RH actually
builds, see the FC ISO sizes above.
I've not seen RHEL5 CD images, but RH seems fairly inconsistent: beta2
was around 650, beta1 quite a deal smaller. In both cases, RH has DVD
images in the same directory.
I don't see how putting the same packages on the same ISOs (which I
don't think can be what you do since you won't have separate client and
server sets), or making the images sizes the same is necessary to
"clone" RHEL. What matters in that respect is that, as far as possible,
ir works the same and has the same compatibilities with third-party
software, and works the same on any particular hardware. CentOS has
never cloned Red Hat's delivery process, and this is part of delivery.
