I had a ISO that I built for this client 2 years ago based off REHL7.2 that worked a treat.
I was updating it to RHEL 7.5 for some new server builds, and fixing some minor issues (some additional packages like Nano, telnet and adcli because they're a windows shop)."Ideally" I'd do something like this out of Cobbler or whatever they're calling it these days, or do a local package mirror. But they have such a small Linux footprint that it's not really worth it, And these servers are in a DMZ, so they're really isolated network wise.
I have done the same thing. You apparently ripped apart the 7.2 iso back then, so rip apart the 7.5 iso and the packages should already be on it.. Not sure I understand..

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.:wqI 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.-Greg
