There were two problems
anaconda did not like spaces in my repo names
anaconda was ignoring my repos because there was no .treeinfo files
my install time is now 9:30 (it was just over 18 minutes)
thanks!

The repo names shouldn’t matter at all.
If you jack up the logging level, Anaconda will tell you a lot about why it picked the
packages it did:

I should probably take this to the anaconda folks ...
Here is the relevant directives:
# this is my base repo:
url
--url=http://www.eng.riftio.com/mirrors/frozen/fedora/releases/20/Everything/x86_64/os
# it does not seem to matter whether or not I comment this one out
#repo --name="Rift Fedora Frozen"
--baseurl=http://www.eng.riftio.com/mirrors/frozen/fedora/releases/20/Everything/x86_64/os
# these are my update repos
repo --name="Rift Fedora Updates"
--baseurl=http://www.eng.riftio.com/mirrors/frozen/fedora/updates/20/x86_64/
repo --name="Rift Misc Packages"
--baseurl=http://www.eng.riftio.com/mirrors/misc
The initial install seems to ignore the update repos. It installs 970 packages and then a
yum update replaces 344 of them
I tried giving my repos the same names as the default ones ('fedora' and
'updates') but that did not help.

Add your repos on top of the base repos using the “repo” directive, and anaconda will
figure out which packages are the newest ones.

Subject: [cobbler] updating my install image
I am using the FC20 install image I downloaded months ago. I also have a mirror that I
created months ago. I want to use
In my kickstart file, I am switching yum to use my mirrors. I do the install using the
kickstart packages directives and then in %post I am doing a full update. The update takes
about as long as the initial install.
Is there a more efficient way?
