Updated RPMS.

[French, David]

I've attached a ksh script that looks in the Updates directory of disk one
of a RHEL release.  It then copies a new version of an rpm in place of an
older one in my custom build directory.  It also saves the old file to a
directory and updates any boot related files under isolinux, while ignoring
my custom files like isolinux.cfg.  Anyway, it was a quick and dirty script
but works for my needs.  You are welcome to start with it.  Just remember
you will need to rerun genhdlist after replacing the RPMS.

To run:
	cd base_of_your_cd_build_area		# Directory that isolinux
and RedHat is in
	UpdateRPMS /cdrom/cdrom1		# where is the new CD root
so it can find RedHat/Updates
	
Good luck.

	--Dave

Peeps,

Flame all you want, but I think 2 hours of searching the list
might be enough especially if somone can flame me the FAQ 
section or any info would be appreciated.

My dilema is simple.
I am installing via kickstart on redhat ES 3.0

I want to add things like the new kernel and perl packages
from a redhat update ( Redhat network subscribed ) to 
the original list of files in my http /Redhat/RPMS 
directory and get my fully functional kickstart routines
to install them.

1. Is this possible ?
2. Has anyone got a how to handy. ?
3. Is this the right list to ask on ?

Flame away if you think I didnt look hard enough, but kindly
spam me the correct way to ask / look for this info..
Google is not my friend

Thanks
Martin
