You can also use package caching.  I believe you add --cache=/path/to/cache to the livecd-creator command.  You can check the mail archive for the directions.

Following up on my own email... I am making progress, but not because
I changed anything... I now have success in creating a live CD, just by
running _exactly_ the
same thing again.  Now its basically working
(without changing a thing...
Yeah, I have a hard time believing that myself.)

Now that I can basically create a bootable media... I want to customize it.
But if I use the standard approach of always downloading the RPMs
across the net, it takes a long time, so therefore I'd like to have a local
repository to suck from.  I haven't been able to find a 'good/working'
set if instructions to follow that a) creates a local repo, and b) changes
required to the kickstart file so it _successfully_ uses that local repo.

Surely there must be a definitive set of instructions/docs for this
_whole_ downloading/setup/building/customizing a liveCD process?
(I haven't found any 'complete' instructions yet.)  Pointers anyone?

TIA
