Thanks for the prompt response.  My solution was to copy the DVD image that I 
was using to the hard drive, create an /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-local.repo, 
disable all repos, and then enable fedora-local.  The speed increase for the 
rest of the additional software was well worth the time it took to set this 
up.  When the machine is on online, I will see what effect leaving the local 
repository active has on performance.
