Offline updates

Hi guys,

I have an problem, and it seems that I could solve only with some help
from you guys. I have few fedora boxes at my friend's office
(including with 2 notebooks), and he asked from me that to update all
to the newest release. But here is the show-stopper:
The ISP has cable maintenance nearby (building construction), and
there is no net temporary - he is living with HDSPA connection, but
with quoted data amount - so that's why no preupgrade possibility, or
any kind of bigger download. My friend has asked me that if it's
possible somehow, after the clean installs from DVD - provide the rest
of the updates (along with some needed extra packages) offline. Well,
I have told him that's possible - but I didn't know the correct
procedure to how to do it.

If my memory serves me correctly, there is an extra program for
packagekit what could create servicepacks - and I thought that could
be the one what helps me out. But I didn't founded the package.
Somebody has suggested to use yum and createrepo to burn out to an CD
all of the downloaded packages.... but I haven't used before... Is
there a step by step description, or UI for this? Please help...

Thx,

Zoltan
