Ok after a bunch of fiddling I finally have the script working
fairly well.

This should build a directory the contains all the original
RH7.0+Updates+XFS
and regen the hdlist file.
Rerunning the script whenever new update come out should correctly
delete
the old ones and replaces them with the newer version.
Note sometime is over ambitious with the deletes... don't worry about it

the will get re-updated.


The rest of the notes are in the script.

Note
oss.sgi.com will not be offering this fully integrated install directory
right
away, but anybody wishing to be a mirror site please do  and let us
know so we can put a list up.

Ohh one more thing the latest version of glibc is glibc-2.2.<something>
which does not seem meet the rpm requirements of a most packages.
which is looking for glibc-2.1
I don't know where the goof up is yet... I'm have to look at the
source rpm and find out.
For the moment telling the installer to ignore the dependencies seems
get around the problem.
