Without re-rolling the install tree, there isn't much way to accomplish building the updates into the installer.
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).
