Hi Russ, Thanks for your answer. To test, I reinstalled the host with only "otherpkgs" post boot script. After checking the duplicates (with /usr/bin/yum --showduplicates list <package-name>), it actually ran "yum -y upgrade" and upgraded to system to latest packages before installing my other packages.
Actually in file /install/postscripts/otherpkgs, line 783; the script explicitly calls result=`eval $envlist yum -y upgrade 2>&1` and upgrades the whole system. I can modify the script, but wanted to ask whether there's a better way to modify behavior of the said script.
