My suggestion would be to bring an F7 install DVD and mirrors of everything,
updates and livna along. You will need to split everything into 2 DVDs.
Make sure you grab the whole repository, not just the rpms. That way you
can point to local repositories when adding packages. If you decide to use
FC6, the you would want core, extras and livna.
lftp has a nice mirroring facility and makes it simple to get updates.
One caution when grabbing a copy of updates, is that mirrors can be out of
sync for periods of times, so that the repo files don't match the rpms that
are there. You want to check that you have a consistant copy before you
go somewhere where you can't easily fix things.
