This is a good point.  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.
