I'm trying to maintain an install server that has all updates to
avoid having to do initial ``yum update'' which has to load over
500MB of updates which can be very time-consuming.

I have this working for CentOS 4.5, and would like to have the
same capability on 5.x.

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of
one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that
oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the
beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -- H. L. Mencken
