rpm backups on CD

I notice in the media manager, I can add custom rpm sources, such as local drives or removable drives. If I downlaod some rpms and burn them to a cd, do I need to make any other modifications to have them as a usable source, such as a list file md5 sum file that contains the md5sums of all the rpms...?

afaik, you can just point to the cd and the system takes care of things. Basically, it will read all rpm info about dependencies and what the packages provide, and keep this in its own db - I guess it will use genhdlist, but you don't actually need to know anything about it...

From my memory anyway...

just wondering, if I wanted to make an offline copy of the urpmi update sources (main and contrib) how much hd space would that take up?
