Anyway, I am doing a netinstall of Centos 6.3 i386 from my local repo. I also have the updates repo. How can I add the updates repo so that I get it up to snuff right away (like I have been doing with Fedora for quite some time)?
You can use the --cost option in the repo section (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#repo).
This works for me:
repo --name="Centos" --baseurl=http://host/mrepo/centos6-i386/RPMS.os --cost=100 repo --name="Centos updates" --baseurl=http://host/mrepo/centos6-i386/RPMS.updates --cost=100
I am in the install at the selection of which type of install (I chose Web Server). So 'Add Additional software repositories' does not have any cost item in the dialog box.
Do I just name the repo "Centos updates" and point to my URL?
I'm sorry, I am afraid I misunderstood the question. I thought you wanted to modify a kickstart file, my mistake (for me netinstalls equal pxe and unattended, but it does not have to be).
I have always used a local repo as faster and more assured than CD/DVD. Back when you had to stuff in 5 CDs (pre-DVD days for me) too often a CD failed in the middle of the install, so I got in the habbit of using a local repo for at least the OS. With Fedora, I added a local update repo as well to eliminate a 2-pass install.
I HAVE used kickstart files where I would do an install, mess around, then blow it away and install again.
