I remember Seth talking awhile back on a Fedora list about the next generation installer (Anaconda-based?) being able to pull from YUM-RPM repositories at install-time for network installs.
this is presently possible with anaconda - I do it all the time. why wait?
Could you point to some documentation about how to do this? Thanks!
Certainly -- take a look at:
http://www.owlriver.com/pub/kickstart/ks.php
which returns demonstration code with such content in its '%post' stanza, with trivial php scripting (sorry about the formatting in a generic graphical web browser --
use 'lynx -source \ http://www.owlriver.com/pub/kickstart/ks.php
and it is easier to read). The relevant part is at the bottom.
I documented a method predecessor of this years ago on the yum mailing list
http://www.owlriver.com/support/yum/ and http://www.owlriver.com/projects/yum/ for a 'look under the hood' for codeing to emit a yum.conf of that type, on the fly. A ks.cfg is the same problemspace. Production code is a bit more complex ;)
