Any advice from someone who > understands this better a bit better than I do? The steps that are basically needed should be: a) Mirror the updates directory b) Run repomanage over it to get only the latest version (yum-utils is in extras and contains this incredibly useful utility as well as others... check it out! :) c) Run createrepo on your directory d) Create a yum config that will point to where the cd is mounted e) Create your iso f) Burn CD g) Stick CD in machine, mount it, run yum -c /path/to/configfile update And that should basically be it. Try it and let me know what I forgot ;-) Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
