By 'repo' do you mean a virt-builder repo or a repo used for
installing packages (eg. a yum/apt repo)?
For the latter, the --attach option might be useful.
For the former, we should have a way to skip repos or DTRT without the
network being available. Pino - what do you think?
I wish virt-builder had an option that would skip checking in with
your remote repos and only use cache I think that would be a huge
win
IIRC, currently if a *template* exists in the cache, then it won't
download it. However that doesn't help if the repo is inaccessible.
