I haven't played with the respins (just saw them yesterday 
here at the Red Hat summit), but they should work just like the primary 
distribution where you simply replace the install tree with the one on the 
respin.

BTW, there was a very interesting new product presented in 
the same session called revisor that will help you spin your own.  You can 
search for it on the unity site, and it will soon work with 
RHEL.

>From what I read, it seems like re-spins only work for ISO 
images.  My server actually has all the RPMs rather than the ISO 
images.  Can re-spins work for the RPMs also?  I have installed jigdo 
and downloaded the latest re-spin but am unsure of how to 
proceed.

  Sorry, but I don't find anything dealing with my problem on 
  FedoraUnity.org.  Can you be more specific?

Hello - 

I am new to kickstart.  I am setting up a 
    kickstart server for Fedora Core 6.  I have all the RPMs from the 
    original ISO images on my server.  I'd like to update the packages on 
    the server so users don't always need to update packages immediately after 
    install.  What is the best way to update the RPMs on my 
    server?

Regards, 
Andy
