Hi Pat!

I did come across this - but there are a couple of reasons I asked for
something else...

You can't ADD a new URL to an existing repo - I update a local mirror of
the sl6x / sl6x-security / sl6x-fastbugs repos - and therefore want to
insert my URL into the baseurl section via the kickstart. The actions I
do are:

sed -i 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/sl.repo

## Enable the sl6x, sl6x-security and sl6x-fastbugs repos....
sed -i 's/enabled=0/enabled=1/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/sl6x.repo
sed -i 's/#mirrorlist=/mirrorlist=/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/sl6x.repo

## Add local repos to the baseurl list for fast updates.
sed -i '/baseurl/ {
   h ; s!http:.*scientific/!https://internal.server/path/to/sl! ; p ;
   g ; s/baseurl=/                / }' /etc/yum.repos.d/sl6x.repo

True, the enabled= lines could be done via yum-config-manager, however
you can't inject a URL or change the mirrorlist options (that I've found
anyway!).

After only just getting round to using kickstart (after years of just
uncompressing an archive), this info is VERY helpful.
