Because that's explicitly what he didn't want to do in the initial question. "Currently, I kickstart my machines over http to install CentOS 4.4 and then in a script called from %post do a "yum -y update" to install all the latest updates. Is there a way to set up the kickstart server so that I can do this all in one step?" The reasons why, your guess is as good as mine. If the machine's part of an automated provisioning system and is, at least in a network sense, exposed to untrusted users from the instant it's available perhaps he's like the box patched up ASAP? Will.
