My thought is to use yum to check for updates, redirecting the output to 
a file.  Take that file to your other box and use it to download the 
files onto the stick.  One warning: doing this won't find any new 
dependencies, so you may have problems getting everything properly 
updated.  I'm sure there are ways to work around this, but I've never 
needed them so I don't know.
