Specifying the kickstart file to use a repo on a USB device

[Chun Tat David Chu]

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.

Thanks,

David
