What I do with kickstart installations is to only install the Base group 
with kickstart, then update all those packages in the %post using yum.  
Then upon reboot, a script runs (which was set up in kickstart %post) 
that uses yum to install all the other packages I want.

This way, the newly-installed OS never runs except with the latest 
packages installed.
