I guess this confirms that I am not overlooking something obvious, and that what I am trying to do is "hard".

I have a script to do so, except for finding out which rpms are to be updated. would the following approach be ok?

- install a system manually, do whatever yum update/remove/install
- do rpm -qa to get the list of installed rpms
- if they are on the CD, copy them
- otherwise, download them


I'll stick with my current method of doing a "yum -y update" in the kickstart %post, and I may investigate the suggestion of using VMware snapshots (although that doesn't quite accomplish what I am trying to do).
