Does this work with the latest EL, Fedora? It seems the repos on the DVD 
are more than a little strange.

At least with EL5, there's no documentation included on how to create a 
unified repo from the CD set, the procedure that used to work no longer 
applies now that the each image is a repo.

_I_ used to loop-mount the DVD image and export via http, but that now 
means I need to fight selinux _and_ I've not actually "fixed" the repo 
(I need to run createrep at a higher level than the mount-point for the 
ISO image).

But no networking solution works for one who'd like to give a CD set to 
a mate.
