It is the yum-priorities plugin that actually does something with this. During installation, the yum shipped with anaconda is used, this yum does not include the yum-priorities plugin, neither does anaconda understand any priority parameter to the "repo" setting in the kickstart file. That is why this only works when: 1) you installed yum-priorities, and 2) you install the desired packages that should take into account priorities in the %post section. Everything in %post runs in a chroot in the newly installed system, thus it is using the new system's yum instead of the yum that's in anaconda. I hope this makes it a bit more clear. :) Cheers, Jasper _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler -- Make It So Number One _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
