kickstart add extra RPM yum repos?

[tjones at fastq.com]

Where I work we have a yum repository that gets accessed at the end of the
kickstart process (part fo the %post section).  We use it to update whetever
we're installing to the latest package/patch levels. The yum.conf that is copied
in after the yum rpm is installed has the repository information already configured.

Very simple stuff:

rpm -ivh http://ks_server/location/of/yum.rpm

wget -o /dev/null -O /etc/yum.conf http://ks_server/location/of/yum.conf

yum update -y

That's from memory, so you'll want to check the man page on each command before
trying it yourself.
