I'm not a big fan of yum, but one thing it does well is the 'createrepo' command which lets you effortlessly create a repository from a collection of RPMs. So RPM + createrepo + a CD burner would do what you want on Fedora. I think the bigger problem is that certain Well Known Operating Systems don't come with any package management to speak of. Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
