The Fedora repo is larger than what you can fit onto a DVD. Therefore, the DVD
contains only a subset of the actual available rpm's that are in the Fedora
repo.
I suppose you could go to one of the actual repo mirrors and download
everything there onto your local fileserver, but I don't know if you would gain
much overall due to the amount of downloading that you would have to do. But
that is an option.
