I think I got it working. What I did is in the %pre, I mount my USB drive first and then I set the repo using --baseurl=file:/tmp/my_repo Let me know if there's any other way to point to a repo on an USB device in the kickstart file.

Is there a way to specify in the kickstart file to use a repo on a USB device? I did this on my kickstart file but no luck "repo --name=my_repo --baseurl=hd:sdb1/MY_REPO" On screen, I see the following warning message.... "YumRepo Warning: not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - hd:sdb1/MY_REPO" What would be the correct syntax to point to a USB device? Thanks!! - David </blockquote></div>
