Hi, it works now, I think the problem was that I didn't have the lines $yum_repo_stanza and $yum_config_stanza in my kickstart file.
When installing RHEL5, the updated packages are being used. Maybe it's the wrong mailing list to ask, but there is still a problem: when running "cobbler reposync" the whole rhel-i386-server-5 repository gets downloaded ( 4125 packages ), but there are no kernel-packages, only the kernel-headers and kernel-doc-packages ?! So at the moment, I can install an updated rhel5, but only with the first kernel-release. Any idea ? kind regards Tim -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Michael DeHaan Gesendet: Dienstag, 22.

It does allow installing from repos at install time for packages not in the tree, though if a newer package is in a "repo" in kickstart, it will not be used. This was added around Fedora 7 or 8 (I forget now), so that support is coming. Meanwhile, you can run "yum update" in %post or at first boot time if you like. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler *********************************************************************************** Hinweis: Diese E-Mail und evtl.
