Our favorite upstream vendor has the same issues. Bulky materials on
the DVD seem to have blocked the inclusion of some utilities, such as
"audiofile-devel" on the upstream vendor's installation media. It
requires registered client access to get that.

Drove me *nuts* to get nx recompiled. (It's available over at CentOS,
along with my updated  SL 6.0 .spec file on their bugizilla.) For SL,
I'd suggest grabbing the DVD images with Bittorrent, depositing them
in a local repository, then adding the external repository as a
separate target to be able to grab the local components first.
Properly configured, this can seriously localize bandwidth use and
profoundly speed system installation and "mock" setups for package
building.

Yeah, I just hopped over from CentOS due to the delays in release and
the invisibility of the build process there. I'm pretty happy with SL
6.0.
