=== Local Fedora Repositories ===
To reduce the amount of software packages that might have to be downloaded during a disc build process, local Fedora "base" and "updates" repositories should be used. These local repositories (repos) have an added advantage, the build machine can receive its' software updates ( i.e. yum -y update ) from them.
The repos in this example will be stored in the "/opt" directory. What is this directory normally used for? I am so glad you asked.
