[ale] Trying to create a CentOS update repository.

[Jim Kinney]

yep. Got to have repodata or else yum has no idea what's available.
However createrepo should take care of that.
hmm. You don't want the repodata off the DVD as it points to the DVD
list. You really want the one created by the createrepo command.
