I'm doing this on an 8.0 box so I didn't run into that. Good pt.

The problem with this is that the number of updates for RH7.3 are
getting to be rather large. It is no longer a few % of the install
time to update the packages in %post...more like 25-50% or so, or
if you installed (almost) everything in the base install, then
updating could double your install time.
Merging the updates into the hdlist (even if you did it a month or
two ago) and *then* updating your system in %post (by yum or autoupdate
or whatever) will save a LOT of time.

What I've done is used ftpcopy from a local updates mirror, dumped those
files into a web accessible directory, and pointed yum at it.
Then on the freshly built machine I run yum update to grab all of the
updated packages. (I have to run an after boot script anyway for vmware
patching and tripwire init) You may be able to stuff this near the end
of your %post section.

yum is available at http://www.dulug.duke.edu/yum/
yum will run nightly to keep the local machine in sync with the update
tree. I would recommend _NOT_ doing kernel upgrades this way. (I tried
it and it broke my test box, I didn't spend much time debugging it)

Is there an easy way of integrating rpm files from the updates tree into
the main distribution tree? I could write some Perl to do this, but I
don't want to reinvent the wheel. It's also a bit of a pain because there
isn't really a standard naming scheme (though there are a minimum of
deviations.
I've googled a bit for this, but it seems like everyone out there has
avoided automating this part.
