Is there a new way we should be updating the hdlists? genhdlist isn't used anymore. yum repodata is instead. You'd need to recreate the repodata (using -g comps.xml to get grouping right). Alternatively, if you're doing NFS (non-iso), ftp, or http installs, you can add the Updates repository in your kickstarts, it will read in data from that repository and interleave the updates into the install. This way all you have to do is keep a local mirror of the updates repo and it's metadata. No recreating anything. Due to a design issue in anaconda/rpm/yum/whatever, this doesn't work if you are using NFS ISO method, or CD/DVD method. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
