End excerpt.

Thus, it appears only an install from the web is available, not the 
ability to create local images (e.g., on bootable optical media or 
bootable USB flash drive).  For reasons of both throughput limitations 
as well as network interruptions, I prefer to do a "fresh" install from 
local media.  Is there a mechanism short of duplicating an entire distro 
web site of producing such an image for Springdale 8 EL?
