Re: FC6 - How to update packages on kickstart server

You would share the mounted ISO over any protocol (HTTP/FTP/...)

However this would only give you the core repository.
The tool Shabazian is talking about (yesterday at the RH Summit), is Revisor. This tool will allow you to specify your own set or repositories, create custom package sets (including specific versions of packages), and create CD, DVD and Live Media. As a side effect, it'll also have a build tree or unified ISO which you can then use.
The Revisor developers (Jonathan Steffan and myself) have submitted Revisor for review in the Fedora Repository, and it'll only work for F7+, but nonetheless should be able to create valid buildtrees for FC6+.
A kickstart file (which it appears you already have), can be used to specify the package manifest, so you don't need to resolve dependencies over all 7000+ packages ;-) 

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen

    Sorry, but I don't find anything dealing with my problem on
    FedoraUnity.org.  Can you be more specific?

        Hello -

        I am new to kickstart.  I am setting up a kickstart server for
        Fedora Core 6.  I have all the RPMs from the original ISO images
        on my server.  I'd like to update the packages on the server so
        users don't always need to update packages immediately after
        install.  What is the best way to update the RPMs on my server?

        Regards,
        Andy
