FC6 - How to update packages on kickstart server

[Andy Meany]

Shouldn't it also be possible to do this using a repo?  I have all my original RPMs in a directory:  fc6/Fedora/RPMS  I downloaded the updated RPMs and put them in fc6/updates/Fedora/RPMS.  I then ran the createrepo command like this:  createrepo /fc6/updates

Can I then use the --repo option in my ks.cfg?  If so, what would it look like?

 BTW, there was a very interesting new product presented in  the same session called revisor that will help you spin your own.  You can  search for it on the unity site, and it will soon work with  RHEL.

>From what I read, it seems like re-spins only work for ISO  images.  My server actually has all the RPMs rather than the ISO  images.  Can re-spins work for the RPMs also?  I have installed jigdo  and downloaded the latest re-spin but am unsure of how to  proceed.

Sorry, but I don't find anything dealing with my problem on    FedoraUnity.org.  Can you be more specific?

Hello - 

I am new to kickstart.  I am setting up a      kickstart server for Fedora Core 6.  I have all the RPMs from the      original ISO images on my server.  I'd like to update the packages on      the server so users don't always need to update packages immediately after      install.  What is the best way to update the RPMs on my      server?

Regards, 
Andy
