 Thanks for the reply ... Just to understand, you mean download all the
updates and do a createrepo on the locally download rpms?

 Well, with a standard install of rpms, all the rpms are downloaded with yum
at the moment, but when yum is not able to download a large rpm, like
openoffice-core or something, I use wget to get that one rpm, but yum still
wants to pull the header file out of the rpm online, which in it'self is
big, will take a long time ... If the rpm is locally downloaded already, and
sig verify, then it should be able to pull header details directly out of
the local rpm.  Seems easier than having to go and create a repo that
already exists.

Mailed
