I'd suggest running yum update answering no, then getting the packages
that it lists at work, and copying them into the appriopriate directories
on your home machine (/var/cache/yum/[repo]/package if I'm not mistaken).
You could probably write a quick sed script to parse the yum output and
change it into urls to get at work. Once you've copied the packages you
just rerun yum update, this time with a 'y' (and hope there were no extra
updates in the mean-time). This if by no means perfect, but it'll get
'most' of the data from your work machines (you'll still be pulling the
index and headers files at home).
If you're more desperate: than get a big removable USB/whatever (the
current update set for centos 4.3 i386 or x86_64 is approximately 640MB).
Stick it in to your work computer, rsync the centos update directory onto
it [I'm including the script I use for syncing centos, but it syncs _a
lot_ more than just the updates - you'd probably want to remove the
entire dag-specific part, and add more filters to limit yourself to
updates only (or even just change the base path)]. Once that's done (the
first time will take looong), unmount it, take it home, configure yum at
home to use the mountpoint from your USB as the update repo
(/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo or something like that) and run yum
update - voila, the repo's local.
Cheers,
MaZe.
