And here is what I put in the kickstart

#
# Include the repositories
#
#%include repo-rhel5.ks

repo --name=lknfs --baseurl=http://localhost/lknfs

#
# Add all the packages after the base packages
#
%packages --excludedocs --nobase


#
# Packages to Add
#
bash
kernel
grub
e2fsprogs
passwd
policycoreutils
chkconfig
rootfiles
yum
vim-minimal
acpid
dhclient
openssh-clients
openssh-server

pdksh
steeleye-lkRHAS
jre
steeleye-lkLIC
steeleye-lk
steeleye-lkGUI
steeleye-lkHLP
steeleye-lkIP
steeleye-lkMAN
steeleye-lkRAW
steeleye-lkNFS
steeleye-lkDR


Running kickstart still claims it cannot find the packages ("The package
does not exist").  Do I need to be more explicit on the names (full path
names perhaps?)

Assuming that you see this addres, and there is a repodata directory in 
there you are good.

In the %packages section you need to list the packages you would like to

install. Kickstrt (via yum) will pull in the rest. You could create a 
group for yum to use, but that explicit list will be easier.

Should be no issue.
