I use the following commands to keep an updated install of Fedora on a usb
drive mounted asd /media/sdb1.
This copy is for F8 but the process works for F9 also.  The i386 directory
contains the contents from the DVD.  Choose the mirror you like to use for
the updates and see just how they designate the updates directory as it
differs from mirror to mirror.

cd /media/sdb1/fedora
repomanage --old i386 | xargs rm -f
cd i386

createrepo -g repodata/Fedora-8-comps.xml .

Use one of the formulas for a bootable DVD and the contents of the i386
directory to get an updated install.
