Does this work with the latest EL, Fedora? It seems the repos on the DVD
are more than a little strange.
At least with EL5, there's no documentation included on how to create a
unified repo from the CD set, the procedure that used to work no longer
applies now that the each image is a repo.
_I_ used to loop-mount the DVD image and export via http, but that now
means I need to fight selinux _and_ I've not actually "fixed" the repo
(I need to run createrep at a higher level than the mount-point for the
ISO image).
But no networking solution works for one who'd like to give a CD set to
a mate.
