how to install a custom XEN kernel & rpm's from kickstart?

[Shabazian, Chip]

The other thing you can do, if you are using RHEL 5, is to setup your
own yum repo, include it in the command section, and then simply add the
packages to the package section like the any other build.  A bit more
work to setup, but it works well.

If you just want the quick and easy method, then doing it over http is
the easiest as Tom said.  Remember, you can load the rpm directly via
http, no need to transfer it to the local system first.  ex:
rpm -Uvh http://my_server/rpm/location/xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.i386.rpm
