Oh, and also does anyone know a good way to check to make sure that the contents of your isolinux/Package directory contains all the depedencies that your %packages section is asking for?The script I found...missed 20 or 30 things.On Thu, Jun 14, 2018 at 9:17 AM, C.

Of course, dependencies have changed.So I tried to add:%packages --ignoremissingWhich did not work--it still attempts to access a non-local repo and install additional packages--10 tries at 30 seconds each!So I set:%packages --ignoremissing --retries=2 --timeout=2And got no behavior change.What am I missing here?Regards,Petro.:wq
I originally was not going to chime in, but it seems you are looking for an ISO for installation that has already baked bread and wine.
What I do is cp -al the current mirror I have, then rsync mirror the current repo and add that as a repo in my kickstart file. I know I will always the same exact packages for the duration. It is really not much data to mirror by today's standards and you will not have to ever worry about missing packages..
Of course, you did not share any specifics, so no telling what you are battling.
