How to apply updates to a system with no Internet access?

Thanks for the info - much appreciated.

Is there any way to download all the required updates (on a machine that 
has Internet access, obviously) and save these downloads for the creation 
of the local repository you speak of?  Let me clarify.  The target system 
(with no Internet access) is in a customer site.  The development system, 
which essentially 'mirrors' the target installation, is in our own lab and 
*does* have Internet access.  So for us to update our (development) system 
is straightforward, and this system automatically 'knows' which updates to 
download as part of FC16's package update software.  Since this system 
mirrors the target one, what would be ideal is for it to not just 
automatically install the updates, but merely download them as a first 
step - such that they can then be copied to a local repository that I will 
create.  Then I can use this repository to update the development system 
as well as the target system.  In other words, if the development system 
can be used to automatically download but *not* install the updates, it 
saves me the trouble of having to 'manually' determine which updates are 
required for the systems.
