Hi,
I have created a repo for RHEL5 on my cobbler server
with "repo add --name=rhel-i386-server-5
--mirror=rhn://rhel-i386-server-5"
When running "cobbler reposync", everything got downloaded.
Then I ran cobbler profile edit --name=RHEL5-xen-i386
--repos="rhel-i386-server-5"
But when I install via koan, only the old packages are getting installed
from the install tree.
I thought that setting up repo and running "cobbler profile edit" with
--repos would mean, that
installing would be done with the updated packages ??
I only want to use updatet packages in install phase, not afterwards.
Am I wrong or did I overlook something ?

In RHEL 5 (and I am not sure about the lastest/pending updates),
Anaconda does not apply updates from yum repos at install time.
It does allow installing from repos at install time for packages not in
the tree, though if a newer package is in a "repo" in kickstart, it will
not be used.
This was added around Fedora 7 or 8 (I forget now), so that support is
coming.
Meanwhile, you can run "yum update" in %post or at first boot time if
you like.
