One is to use YUM repositories, or a Spacewalk (RHN upstream) server, which are tapped during the installation process, assuming any Fedora release since 2006 and EL 5, which adds Yum support to Anaconda. Another is to still use YUM or Spacewalk/RHN, but handle the installation in the %post via YUM (or up2date). That removes any requirements that Anaconda have YUM support. Lastly, and slightly more involved, is to mix in the RPMs into the source tree for earlier Anaconda relases. I don't recommend this method, especially since YUM is available for even older EL releases, let alone all Fedora releases, and can be done in the %post. -- Bryan J Smith Senior Consultant Red Hat, Inc Professional Consulting http://www.redhat.com/consulting mailto:bjs@xxxxxxxxxx +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:b.j.smith@xxxxxxxx (Blackberry / Red Hat External) ---------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat: That 'other' American software company built on open customer selection of options and value, instead of controlled distribution channels of forced bundle and lock _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
