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...

It doesn't necessarily have to be on an http server. Just in an accessible location (e.g. via NFS) and use a file:// URL in the .repo file.
