All of this has been with cobbler since I never got the cd install to work
because it could never format the disk, which btw is a simple 40G drive with
no raid or anything else fancy that has already had Centos and now XS on it.
The target machine can connect to the cobbler server but not beyond that, so
no internet access.
I know this is all non-standard, so I understand if you prefer to let me
struggle with it. My ultimate aim is to redocument cobbler for 0.7.

epel.repo is representative. my XS will not be able to reach any of the

not there when I did the yum groupinstall "OLPC XS

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the
metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this
checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
