Re: [CentOS] installing updates in post kickstart

I can do a yum update in my post kickstart (which is what I am doing

now actually).

However, I want to save network time at installations. If I copy down the files from centos/5.3/updates/x86_64/RPMS and place

them in a directory local on my network, can I just "rpm -U

/mnt/directory/updates/x86_64/RPMS*" in my post section?

Assuming I have nfs mounted the directory of course...

You can always replace the updated RPMS in the CentOS directory and run createrepo to rebuild the comps.xml and header info so that you do your initial build with the newer files without running yum at all. Ymmv
