Hi, I'm using Cobbler and a single kickstart file for both my EL5 i386 and EL5 x86_64 profiles. Now I've got the following problem : I'd like to include a "repo=" line in order to have anaconda use all of the available updates instead of having to run an update right after installation. I already have a yum repository of the updates on my LAN, so I don't want Cobbler to mirror anything. I just want it to add the repositories I give it through $yum_repo_stanza. Why don't I simply add the repo= line myself in the kickstart? Because anaconda doesn't replace the $basearch, and I want to share the same kickstart for i386 and x86_64. I can't seem to figure out how to add a simple name/baseurl as a repo to Cobbler. Is that possible at all? I've also tried the following, but it didn't work for some reason, and I don't really know how to debug it :-/ [...] url --url=$tree %include /tmp/repo [...] %pre #raw # Since the "repo" lines don't understand $basearch, hack that here basearch=$(uname -i) for repo in updates custom; do echo "repo --name=$repo --baseurl=http://myserver/redhat/el5Server/$basearch/$repo/"; >> /tmp/repo done #end raw The --available-as import option made it possible to not mirror the base files locally (I've mounted them from my main yum server through nfs). Any ideas about what the easiest is to achieve what I need? Another solution would be for Cobbler to expose the basearch so that it can be used as $basearch in the kickstart and get replaced by the cheetah parsing. Currently I only see $arch in the Wiki, but it expands to "x86" and not "i386".
