Hi Greg, Unfortunately this won't work in my case - my objective is to build a very small target (which is why I'm replacing some utilities which busybox counterparts) so I am not installing yum (or rpm for that matter) and can't do this post-install. If nothing else works, I'm planning on munging the 2 repos into a third one, but I don't think this will scale well if I have > 1 busybox options later (or other replacement tools). So I'm really hoping to find a solution within the kickstart configuration. Your reply doesn't give me much hope that such a solution exists though...
