I do all this in the %post section of my kickstart script. I could add it to the base install but I'd rather keep the RH base/updates directories pristine and put all of my site-specific stuff into a different directory. Here are the relevant bits from my current *stable* ks.cfg: %post # I realize most of these OpenPGP keys are not necessary. # I intend to pare this down in the next revision. rpm --import http://yum.trueposition.com/650d5882.txt rpm --import http://yum.trueposition.com/db42a60e.txt rpm --import http://yum.trueposition.com/897da07a.txt rpm --import http://yum.trueposition.com/e418e3aa.txt # Install yum rpm -ihv http://yum.trueposition.com/redhat/9/tp/yum.rpm # Update existing packages yum -d 0 -e 0 -y update # Install VNC client/server packages yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install tightvnc tightvnc-server # Clean up yum clean I have a testing ks.cfg that is completely different and not yet suitable for posting. :)
