Well, here's what I do: I don't update the distro unless there's a bug with it. (This does mean that my distro is CentOS 5.4 but that's fine...) Instead, I have a repo for the OS files. Since most (all?) CentOS mirrors keep a "5/" directory as a symlink to the current version of 5.x, I use this for my repo. This ensures that the OS repo contains the files for the current version of CentOS. I then use this repo during kickstart and on the servers for updates after they're built. I hope this helps. --CAE _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
