I have CentOS 4.3 as well as RHEL4u3 and FC5 setup on my PXE/HTTP Server automating the install process. However, I'd also like to apply any post update RPMS during installation also. Is there any easy method to do this with out having to recreate the hdlist and other installation files? My desire would be to have a updates directory that I can put packages into and CentOS would check to see if a newer version of the RPM exists in /updates. Any thoughts?
My goal is to get away from the need to download 200+ megabytes of updates after each install. I know I could setup my own yum updates server and then point each new install at that instead of the mirrors but I wanted something slightly more automated. Can anyone else tell me how their doing this?
