The contents of /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d in the installroot image
area I'm building are identical to the main server files.
But it gave me an idea, so I strace'd the yum process. I can see it
making a request to get a mirror server, I can see it getting the response
but then not even attempt to talk to the server it was told to.
If I change the repos.d files to use baseurl rather than mirrorlist then
I can't even see yum attempting to connect to the server.
If I try to pre-seed the cache files from the main server it then moans
about no cache for base/yumgroups.xml (becasue the main server doesn't have
that).
