Michael,
I have the repositories setup already along with a nightly cron job to
keep everything sync'd up and they work great...
I didn't think about creating a custom repo which I populate myself
though. In theory that should work just fine, right? That should
allow me to load whatever custom packages we have and make them
available for the kickstart.
It should.
I need to correct what I said about EL 5. There is a limitation in EL
5 that says it can install /new/ packages in the packages section, but
it cannot install a package from a repo that is newer than the one in
the install tree. Fedora and future EL will not have that problem.
So with those OS's, the profile/repo assocations in cobbler are good,
but you will also want to make sure "yum_post_install_mirror" is enabled
in cobbler settings, and then call yum update for that package in %post.
Thanks,
Rich

Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a way to add specific packages to the
distro used for kickstarting? For example, let's say I want to
install MySQL 4.1.22 (yes, I know it's old) but the distro only
includes MySQL 5. Is there some way to make the package available
during the kickstart? Trying to avoid post-kickstart package
installations...
Thank you,
Rich
See the web documentation and manpage about how cobbler works with
repositories.
"cobbler repo add" and "cobbler reposync" are your friends here.
If you are running EL 5 that just works, otherwise just update in %post.
