Sorry, I am trying to get this working with RHEL3.

I will look into adding repositories to the kickstart file for RHEL5,
that sounds really handy.



I've tried linking the 'RedHat/base' directory, thinking I needed the
stage2 stuff, but I still get the same error. Any advice on this, or
alternate methods of doing the same thing would be great.


If this is RHEL5, why not just add a repository in your ks file that
has all the updates in it?  Far easier than trying to reconstruct the
install tree.



I don't know why folk are giving EL5/Fedora answers when it's clear OP isn't using one of those. See where he says "I've tried linking the 'RedHat/base'."

Back on RHL7.x I used to ren a self-written script that updated the system after install.

I don't know the procedure with official RHEL; on a clone I'd use a little sed in %pre to configure up2date/yum and upgrade, maybe off a local mirror but if not, then via a caching proxy.

Not perfectly neat, but pretty easy to do and wouldn't add much to the install time.
