Sorry about the missing cdroms...

I don't have an "open" rsync server, I could open our server for a given
ip address but I'm away on vacation and don't have direct access to the
server in question. 

Other options include downloading all the stuff using wget (there are
options to recursively download a remote tree using http but I don't
remember the command line options right now). After having it locally
you could nfs export the directory to the other computers or set it up
in a web server for the other computers to access. I think you could
even burn a cdrom but I have never tested that with yum. 

Another option would be to use a squid cache to cache whatever one of
the computer downloads and serve that to the others... I have no idea on
how to exactly set that up. 

Hope this helps...
