I think the CD part is throwing everyone off. The CD would never have to be updated unless the way a system hard drive is configured, the software that is used for this changes, or a totally new way of setting up a system changes. The CD is only used to prepare the hard drive, activate the network card and ask you with yum repository and what software you would like to have installed. Nothing more! This doesn't seem to be that big of a deal but I guess I was wrong. > What you're looking for is already available today.

Only if you could point it to a yum repository and install from there. And if that is the case please explain how it is done. > You can create your own collection of rpms that you want to serve to such > network installs.

I am just looking for a simple way to only have to download and install the most up-to-date files without having to download 3 CD's and then run Yum only to have to download another 2G of software. - -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCCEf40xJrO8dQYHgRAmrTAKC96HVcwNCMx/mt+REEv/fEUt/SdwCguOiy F7bDnk+MfTwbEQ8ziJHwtSY= =L64s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
