However, we will need to modify the yum repo found on the media to add our own packages, and it would also be preferable to remove the ones that we are not interested in. This could be done by hand, but it would be fiddly... I presume the official CentOS 6.2 ISOs were not created in this manner. It would be cleaner/nicer if we could adopt the official build infrastructure (which I presume starts from zero), and this would avoid the above complications. Thanks, Daniel
