During the build script:

cat <<EOF > yum.conf
[main]
reposdir=$(pwd)/yumrepos
cachedir=/var/cache/yum-xs
EOF

pushd ${isocopy}/Packages
yumdownloader -c ../../yum.conf --resolve mysql-server mysql php-mysql
expect ImageMagick graphviz php-tidy java-1.6.0-openjdk
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
popd


yumrepos/ then contains 2 repo files, one for F9 and one for F9 updates.

The only slightly awkward thing is that the added packages have to be
listed twice, once above and once in the kickstart file. Of course, we
could automate the construction of the ks file but that's adding more
complexity than I'd like to leave behind in Nepal.
