I'm thinking of using latest 5.7 OS (latest as of what RHN has) for production
deployment.
There 2 ways to go about it that come to my mind:
1) Take the stock image of RHEL5.7 iso, and install the OS via KS. in %post install
initiate "yum update" - this approach lengthy and not very exiting
2) Take latest updates from RHN, dump them into "Server" directory - this
is the area where I get somewhat uncertain. Do I need to re-run createrepo to update the
repodata? Is RHEL5 uses yum as its base installer? I'm suspecting createrepo should be
enough, but not 100% certain. If you had any experience with this method, please shed
some light.
Thanks

I suggest option 3:
download all of the rhn updates into an "updates" folder on the server,
run "createrepo". Add a "repo" line to your kickstart file. The
installer will find the latest updates and use them. This approach
allows you to kickstart from a base 5.7 iso and only have to modify the
"updates" folder.
