All the packages to be installed should be on the cd and should not
require a connection to the internet. Was a network connection available
during the install? Were you using cobbler for the install?

The files that reside in /etc/yum.repos.d/ are placed there by the
*-release files that get installed. Sounds like yum is ignoring the

the /etc/yum.conf file and the stock *.repo files from the XS please.
