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

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.
