It seems wasteful to install the last published version of the OS, then scp over my local update RPMs, freshen from those,*then* check with the vault for yet more updates.

What I'm hoping for is some way to get a "CentOS 3.10", being 3.9 with the vault updates directory contents merged in.

Is there a straightforward way to do that, or is schlepping around folders full of RPMs actually the best way to go?

I'd mirror the vault repository on a local http server, and edit the CentOS-Base.repo file to point to it, then you can just run yum update...
