I mounted my updates repository (rsynced from a mirror, btw) and ran  
'createrepo' on it, and an install still ignores it.  I have a machine  
sharing the repo via http, and my repo line in my kickstart file looks  
like:

repo --name="updates" --baseurl="http://name.of.machine/fc10_patches/i386 
"

My install source is a locally-shared (via NFS) copy of an  
"Everything" repository that I rsynced (I rsynced the "Packages" and  
"repodata" directories) from one of the mirrors.  I wanted the  
"Everything" because it's got packages that I need that aren't part of  
the install DVD.

I'd like to have my kickstart installs already updated via an updates  
repository.  This worked fine with F8 kickstart installs.
