Is there a scripted approach to this that will always get a consistent snapshot copy even if you run it while updates are being added in the repositories? Waiting for a new DVD spin avoids that issue. If the networks don't have to be absolutely isolated, you might also fire up a squid proxy on a box with internet access and point yum to it, or perhaps use ssh port-forwarding to reach a network with an internet proxy. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
