In line with the redhat repo in SW, is there a way I can use an iso image or a dvd to create the channel in a home lab environment that way I can spawn up instances as and when I want. Please if it's possible share the procedures with me or point me to a url to where I can achieve this. I am new to SW, please any procedure to be shared should be well explained that way I won't struggle much in achieving it. Thanks
