I'm sorry that I can't recall the specifics, but I seem to recall that the process runs something like this (from an earlier thread that I couldn't find again, sorry) 1) copy the CD files to a tree on the HD (make sure that you get the files that start with a period, as well) 2) use yum/apt/up2date to just download the files and headers to a temporary file 3) move the downloaded, updated files to the RPMS directory and delete the old versions. 4) run some kind of utility (I can't remember what) to update the info files in the tree, so that the new files are seen instead of the old 5) burn to CD/DVD Maybe you could ask on the devel list, I'm sure that the Fedora packagers must hang out there and can detail the procedure.
