Thanks, my problem is getting the cached RPMs to work. Let me try to explain a 
bit more.

In the past, the /var/cache/yum had directories for repos, like 'updates,' 
'rawhide,' and 'updates-testing.' Now the structure is pushed down and looks 
like this.
   /var/cache/yum
   |-- i386
   |   `-- 12
   |       |-- adobe-linux-i386
   |       |-- fedora
   |       |-- fedora-debuginfo
   |       |-- installed
   |       |-- rawhide
   |       |-- rawhide-debuginfo


I can't seem to export that in a way that the network installer will use it when 
I specify it as an additional repo. Note this was a handy example, I'm actually 
using FC13, both 32 and 64 bit.

I don't know if the fault lies in the export or the createrepo, but it would 
speed upgrades no end if I could do things this way.
