If you prefer the GUI, # yum install gnome-packagekit-extra Go to Applications => System Tools => Service Pack Creator Select "Create an archive of a specific package" You can give one of more packages separated by commas. It will create a <whateverpackagename.servicepack> and you can copy that to anybody running Fedora 11, click on it and install it. The service packs are merely tarballs with a package and its dependencies and a single metadata.conf. You can extract it if needed with tar xvf foo.servicepack There are some bugs you might run into. I have reported some of them and got a few fixed in Rawhide already. Test and send your feedback via bugzilla or packagekit mailing list.
