Bruce If you are going to update multiple machines on your lan you will
want to have ALL the files on your lan some where.

That way the bandwidth to the net will only be used for one dl rather
than each time.  Depending on the speed of your lan and that of the
internet connection, you are talking the difference between minutes and
hours or days to do an install.

I apologize for not getting what you are saying.  It never crossed my
mind that you were thinking of multiple remote installs.

Do yourself a favor and start dling either the installation tree itself
or the isos so you can make your own.  I like the isos so you at least
have the option of making your own cds in the future without jumping
through unnecessary hoops.

Look for a mirror rather than from redhat itself the dl can be quite a
bit faster.  Mirror sites can be found at 
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors

You will need several GBs of space on a server on your lan to make the
files available.

This may be a lot to bite off for your skillset.  Have you considered
hiring out to get this done?  There are folks on this list who do linux
consulting and I have been known to make a few bucks on the side as well
:)
