Guys I wanted to thank you for your tremendous advice on my kickstart setup. In regards to the removal of the yum update in kickstart config, how do you guys keep your internal repository synced with the public one?

I only update mine a couple times a year but I use rsync. rsync -av --delete rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/updates/x86_64/ latest/x86_64/ rsync -av --delete rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/updates/i386/ latest/i386/

If there is a specific update I need more often then I download that manually. I don't use yum myself as it conflicts with what I have configured in cfengine. I do use yum on a test box to build a list of rpms to install then store those rpms in a particular location and force install them to do the upgrade as part of my %post in kickstart.
