It's not from RH/Fedora, it's my own creation (created nightly from  
cron - lftp mirror - so it is always fresh) but all the updates are  
from Fedora - and signed by the Fedora GPG key.

I use it when setting up someone on Fedora who can't bring their PC to  
my house, it brings there boxes right up to patch level easily and  
painlessly.

Put DVD in, run autorun, and it updates the system through yum from the  
CD (w/o altering your system yum configuration, and respecting any  
excludes in main yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo)

There's also another company that for $99.00 a year (I think - I might  
have that wrong) sends you new install CD's every month that have all  
the updates integrated right into Anaconda - which is the better  
solution probably for the IT department that does a lot of Fedora  
installs.

I don't remember the companies name, but I suspect someone here will.
