Hello,
 
I'm wondering if there's a way to add specific packages to the distro used for kickstarting?  For example, let's say I want to install MySQL 4.1.22 (yes, I know it's old) but the distro only includes MySQL 5.  Is there some way to make the package available during the kickstart?  Trying to avoid post-kickstart package installations...
 
Thank you,
Rich


See the web documentation and manpage about how cobbler works with repositories.

"cobbler repo add" and "cobbler reposync" are your friends here.

If you are running EL 5 that just works, otherwise just update in %post.
