online update without online

I have to set up a network (this time using SUSE 10.0) in an office that
will not have an internet connection. Actually I will be able to use one
machine online for a limited time. Please don't ask why, it is the
decision of the people that own (read have the final say) the systems. In
fact it does have some advantages from a security view point. The one
machine that will connect to the internet will not be part of the network.

Since this will be a fresh install on all of the machines each should need
the same updates/patches. My thought is to use YOU to get the updates and
save the files then burn them to a DVD. I would then take the DVD to the
machines I am working on and use that as an update source.

What is your opinions on this and what would be the best way to set up the
DVD. I have not tried this before but it would seem like it would work,
perhaps with some tweaking. It would also be nice to have a local disk
during future installs to bring the system up to XXXX date and save the
download time for each machine.I have to set up a network (this time using
