=E2=80=8BI originally was not going to chime in, but it seems you are looki=
ng for
an ISO for installation that has already baked bread and wine.


What I do is cp -al the current mirror I have, then rsync mirror the
current repo and add that as a repo in my kickstart file.  I know I will
always the same exact packages for the duration.  It is really not much
data to mirror by today's standards and you will not have to ever worry
about missing packages.. =E2=80=8B

Of course, you did not share any specifics, so no telling what you are
battling.
