Hijack the firstboot mechanism.

You shouldn't try to do anything near that complicated in a %post inside 
Anaconda during install.  

While you may get it to work, the firstboot mechanism is design for this; I 
seem to remember a beta one time that asked to do an update during firstboot, 
but I don't remember which version; it was pre-yum (up2date was used) and it 
has been several years.
