That's no problem. You can just add the new kernel package to the RPMS folder, cd to the folder that *contains* the repodata folder, and run 'createrepo -d update .' If that doesn't work, you may need to move the repodata folder out of the way, and run 'createrepo -d .' instead. If it complains about the groups, you can find the group file in the old repodata folder. HTH!

Oh, sorry - I thought you wanted a repository, because you said you wanted a private mirror. I must admit I didn't read the whole thread. My suggestion would be valid if you were using a network-connected kickstart installation.

Hi, yeah I want private mirror , that could be copied to a usb-disk and use off-line or that I could use in my local lan . With this "private mirror" and a boot image with kernel updated. And now already, installation use updated packages from updates in process of install. When first install finish I have a Fedora updated, no more updated need in that day. >From yours suggestion "That's no problem. You can just add the new kernel package to the RPMS folder, cd to the folder that *contains* the repodata folder, and run 'createrepo -d update .' " http://mirrors.eu.kernel.org/fedora/releases/16/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso and image inside boot.iso are the old kernel from Fedora 16 release , I prefer and I odd cases I need, to boot with an updated kernel. The small detail with pungi is regenerate files from fedora/releases/16/Fedora/x86_64/os/, os/images/ and os/isolinux/ So I think from what understand, just creterepo , can't do the solution. preupgrade also, already , from my tests , do a installation with updates. My main goal is save time on installation and if someone appears with a computer, I can install and update it in one shot. Thanks, -- S?rgio M. B.

Wouldn't a better idea be to boot with a minimal install CD and point the installation at both the release and updates repositories? http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Installation_Guide/s1-installationmethod-x86.html http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Installation_Guide/s1-installmethod-x86.html http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Installation_Guide/s1-begininstall-url-x86.html This implies you can choose 'install via URL' and give it http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/16/$basearch/ Then it will install any applicable updates. I haven't tried this, but it looks like it should work.
