John, I'd like to add a feature to Yam that allows to generate new
metadata for anaconda based on the currently available updates. This would
allow to add 3rd party packages and custom packages to a network-based
installation without requiring a new set of ISOs (just the downloaded
updates).
So for kickstart installations you wouldn't need to install additional
stuff from the %post section or after the first reboot.
The only reason to get newer ISOs in that case would be if you require a
newer anaconda/kernel for the installation itself.
Insights, feedback or patches are welcomed :)
