you simply copy the RedHat CD's on top of each other - the net result is that 
the directory RedHat/RPMS (in say /opt/RH7.3) fills up with rpm's from all 
three CDs.

I then make this driectory both exported to my subnet and also symlinked from 
/var/www/html (ftp too if you wish).  
Then I can do a network based kickstart across the cluster using http on 
Mondays and Wednesdays, nfs on Tuesdays and Fridays, etc. ... :-)


Yours,
Daniel.
