CentOS - Jan 2006 - Determine what changed between CentOS 4.1 and CentOS 4.2

Is there a way to determine what package changed from CentOS 4.1 to
4.2 (or between any two versions)?  I need to create a yum repository
to upgrade some machines that cannot talk to the Internet.

Thanks for any help.

Update one system, then look at the /var/cache/yum directory
to see what packages were updated.  You can use those
packages directly.

You're getting into the larger realm of enterprise
configuration management.  Damn I really need to get moving
on that book.  ;->
