Very true - however if I want to install on several machines then this
method is very download heavy since the rpms have to be downloaded for
every one of the installs. Instead I used the mock/pungi toolchain to
rebuild the DVD install iso - that way I have to download current rpms
just once - and then then ise the DVD iso to install on all the
machines, none of which then need to download updates (well apart from
a few that have reached the mirrors between creating the rebuild and
the install).

YMMV
