Hmm, maybe I am overlooking the obvious. I already have a local
CentOS mirror that I rsync every night. And every couple of weeks or
so I do a "yum -y update" on all my machines, which pull in
everything from my local mirror. But when I kickstart a new machine,
it installs the original CentOS 4.4 bits, and when I do a "yum -y
update" it installs 150+ packages.
I want the kickstart process to include those new packages directly,
and for that I would have to modify how things are set up on the
kickstart server. Is it just a matter of copying all the RPMs from
the yum mirror to the kickstart server. If so, which RPMs do I
copy? My yum repository has lots of directories named RPMS:
# find 4.4 -name RPMS
4.4/addons/i386/RPMS
4.4/build/livecd/RPMS
4.4/centosplus/i386/RPMS
4.4/contrib/i386/RPMS
4.4/csgfs/i386/RPMS
4.4/extras/i386/RPMS
4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS
4.4/fasttrack/i386/RPMS
4.4/updates/i386/RPMS
My kickstart server only has one directory name RPMS (if I remember
correctly, I can't access it currently).
