Hi everyone.  I'm using Cobbler 2.0.11 (from the EPEL repository), and trying 
to build
a complete standalone ISO for distributing our custom Linux setup to customers. 
 The
ISO will be used to create DVD's that we will ship to them.  The problem is 
that the
"standalone" ISO seems to only contain the original install tree, not any of 
the updates
I've mirrored onto my machine.

Here's the basic process I'm using:
1. Mount a CentOS DVD.
2. cobbler import --path=/mnt/dvd --arch=x86_64 --name=centos5.7-x86_64
3. cobbler repo add --name=centos5.7-x86_64-updates 
--mirror=http://linux.mirrors.es.net/centos/5.7/updates/x86_64/
4. cobbler reposync
5. cobbler profile add --name=centos5.7-x86_64-uptodate 
--distro=centos5.7-x86_64 --repos="centos5.7-x86_64-updates"
6. cobbler buildiso --standalone --distro=centos5.7-x86_64

When I examine the resulting ISO, I can see that the install tree is there, but 
none of the
updates.  I know I can use "$yum_config_stanza" to create a Yum repository 
pointing
back at Cobbler, but that doesn't work for us because the ISO's will be 
distributed outside
of our network.

Am I missing anything?  I tried to search around online, and it looks like 
including repo
contents was a "to do" back when standalone was first added:

I appreciate any help you can offer.
