Re: Creating complete repository: SOLVED

Finally got what I needed!

Instead of chroot which was suggested earlier, I used fakeroot.  This
worked because it basically ran yum in a fresh root directory in which it
didn't think anything was installed.  As a result, it downloaded all the
dependencies.

I think chroot would have worked as well, but it required more setup.  I
would have needed to create a minimal linux setup in a directory to run as
a chroot.  Also, because of this setup, I was't sure if yum would download
all the packages - it might think some dependencies are already satisfied
and choose not to download them.

Thanks again for everyone's help!
