I'm trying to get Fedora 7 Test 2 from http mirrors (I'm inside my university LAN which only allow port 80 & 443 outbound, so torrent is a no go) .. but all of them that i've checked and have the F7T2 DVD does not reply the size of the file in the request thus making resuming not working - bad for unstable internet .. and download.redhat.fedora.com does not host the Prime DVD ..
However, I do have a mirror of the development and extras-development repository in my server in the LAN (mirrored together with the core, updates,extras and livna repos - for use by me and my friends) .. Is there any way for me to generate the installation DVD from that mirror?? .. upgrading through yum is dependency hell considering I'm using 3rd party repo ..
Or anybody have a better suggestion besides this?

It does but Apache older versions wont display more than 2 GB files. Look in the ftp mirrors. For example,
Prime DVD spin ftp://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/core/test/6.91/Prime/i386/iso/F-6.91-i386-DVD.iso
Installable Live CD ftp://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/core/test/6.91/Live/i386/iso/F-6.91-i386-LiveCD.iso
However, I do have a mirror of the development and extras-development repository in my server in the LAN (mirrored together with the core, updates,extras and livna repos - for use by me and my friends) .. Is there any way for me to generate the installation DVD from that mirror??
Yes. You can use the exact same tool, Fedora Project itself uses.

only port 80 and 443 ( http and https) outbound is allowed in my uni network ..

I know about pungi but I couldnt get how to use it ... no manpages and the doc at the trac page does not tell explicitly how to configure it .. I've tried it by simply using the default config from pungi RPM, but the process looks like an infinite loop of depsolve to me .. at first I thought I was seeing things so I left it running, surprisingly to me, after 2 days its still looping the same output .. I tried this using the pungi-fc6.i386 config file - just to test and see how pungi works ... that was a about, a few weeks ago ..
any idea?

Edit pungi.conf to what you want your system to do. The default is for /srv/pungi as the build directory. I chose home because I have more space in home than in /srv
Afterwards, I ran 'pungi --all-stages' which seemed to work up to the point where the iso files are generated. It fails to create the iso files and I am not sure why.
I might have errors in the file but as you say, there was not much documentation to go on.
Just a pointer to get you a little further along in the process.

If you go this route you either need an F7 installation or FC6+mock.

I do this by creating a fudged .discinfo file containing the following: 1170104239.562016 Fedora 6.90 i386 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 Fedora/base /srv/pungi/20070129.1/6.90/Desktop/i386/os/Fedora Fedora/pixmaps
and then run the following to make an install DVD with all of the packages currently in core: #!/bin/sh
publisher="Bruno Wolff III" release="7"
##############################################################################
export FCBASE=`pwd` arch=`uname -i` date=`date +%Y%m%d`
mkdir -p $FCBASE/$arch rsync --archive $FCBASE/core/ $FCBASE/$arch repomanage --old i386/Fedora/RPMS | xargs rm -f cp $FCBASE/.discinfo $FCBASE/$arch
find $arch -name "TRANS.TBL" -exec rm -f {} ; mkisofs -q -r -R -J -T -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -boot-info-table \ -V "FC $release update$date $arch DVD" \ -A "Fedora Core $release update$date $arch DVD" \ -publisher "$publisher" -p "$publisher" -x lost+found \ -o FC-$release-update$date-$arch-DVD.iso $arch
You might also be able to just use the boot.iso and custom repositories, but I don't know how to do that.

You might try to download using wget with the ftp location link. I am trying it now and it seems to be working.
This might be a jumbled output copied from the terminal but basically, I am using the link that was posted in earlier parts of the thread.
Also, I have development installed already and tried to use punji but only ended up with the directories and no iso image. It looks like a pretty decent program otherwise and the configuration file is not too difficult to make the needed changes for customizing for your system.
Pasted wget info from gnome-terminal.
