So you are still suck with yum update in post for EL 5 at the moment.
Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I remembered, when using CentOS 5.x
with a repo with all updates (mantained with cobbler reposync) I was able
to kickstart to latest version, but some *weird* problems appeared, for
example, if I was not specifying libstdc++, after installation yum was not
usable (probably some dependency chain problem). Despite that, everything
worked fine....
On the other side, trying to setup upgraded packages on a RHEL 4
disk requires editing comps as well as some package ordering scripts, etc
that made it a nightmare compared to createrepo (if anyone has a silver
bullet on this, please let me know where to find how to do it 'easily' ;)
