You may want to look at the yum "shell" option (man yum-shell).

interesting.

would you presume that something like this might run?

yum-shell install < pkg-list.file

The dvd iso and netinstall approaches are very different. The dvd has everything while netinstall assumes you pull the packages from somewhere. If I'm doing more than one machine I always pull all the packages to a local machine and use that for my netinstll source.

aware if use/purpose of netinstall. as stated, used netinstall on laptop with 6.5 without problems.

may have been because it only has 1 cd/dvd drive and 3 usb ports. where as desktop has 1 sata cd/dvd and 7 usb ports with 1 cd/dvd at port 7.

thanks for replying.
