pirat question

[Cam Bazz]

Hello,

When I run pirat, it waits a long time, (prolly checking for updates, 
etc). and generally does not behave well under low bandwidth conditions.
Is there any way to run pirat so it does work offline? Also, what do we 
have to do for it to use the install dvd instead of the net?

Thank you.

Choosing fast mirrors (not necessarily close mirrors or a mirrorlist)
for yum will improve Pirut's performance.

Check the list archive for setting up a local mirror. It has been
discussed in the past two months.

Correction: A fast repo which may also be a mirror.
