Here's the line that worked for me.
repo --name=base1 --baseurl=file:///mnt/source/Workstation
I guess you could add VT the same way if you wanted to.
The bandwidth in our other offices (DSL) make it impractical to do a network install,
witch is why I'm so happy with --standalone.
Thanks for your help.

Anaconda is not hard coded. I suspect
you'd have to specify more repo
directives with "file:///" that reference the extra CD
content.
Really the standalone stuff should probably be documented
that it only
handles base packages. If this is in a
office environment, though,
there's really no reason to not use "cobbler buildiso" in
normal network
install mode.

This is definitely not a Cobbler problem; you'll probably
want different
kickstarts.
