Questions re desktop 150 miles away.

[Sharon Kimble]

I am shortly going to be in the situation of installing Fedora Core 3 onto a
new desktop for my sister, which is then going to be located 150 miles
away, used intermittently and only to have short bursts of dialup internet
connectivity for emails only. The only means of updating it will be through
updates burnt onto a CD and posted to her.

Therefore, some questions;-
A - What folders do I need to copy to the CD for yum to use when updating
please?

B - What commands will have to be used at the command line to tell yum to
update from the CD please?

C - The admin password will be kept very secret from her children [I
hope :)], so how do we get round the problem of the dialer requiring the
root password please?

Hopefully thanks
Sharon.
