Personally, if I'm setting up more than one or two machines, I just go ahead and create a local yum repo and do HTTP installs. That way you have both an install point and place locally for base packages. However, if it is going to be a one off type thing, I generally just use NFS and the ISOs. It is also handy for quickly getting older releases installed, after I have already removed the local yum repo. -- William Hooper
