Without re-rolling the install tree, there isn't much way to accomplish building the updates into the installer. You would have to do the install via %post, though with a local repository this shouldn't be overly long. The alternative (which is much more work) would be to check out the /build directory on the mirrors and consider building new install media with the updates rolled in. Personally this isn't really worth the effort to me. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
