If you have a number of machines have you thought about setting up a
local http/nfs/ftp mirror for them to work from? I have an HTTP mirror
here and its about the most convient thing I've ever set up. Not to
mention that post install you can set yum to look at your local mirror.
If you wanted to you could post your KS config to the list and give us a
list of packages you want to have on it. I'd be happy to check
formatting and syntax.
