Robert:

Assuming you have a directory called 6.2 where you have the 6.2 downloaded
to:

   1) Add all of your new RPMs to the RedHat RPMS directory.
   2) Make sure there are not 2 different versions of the same file.
   3) While in the top level directory (/6.2) execute:

        ./misc/src/anaconda/utils/genhdlist ./

This will generate a new list of the expected RPMs to find on the CD.
