how to put all install rpms in one dir?



Dear All,

I am trying to add some rpm's to the install source I use to kickstart
install Linux servers. Reason is I don't want to install the RPM's
after install in %post (due to deps of deps of deps). Untill now I just
mounted the isofiles and used those unchanged as install source. (works
great).
however, I now copied all rpms into one folder (disc1/RedHat/RPMS) and
then ran genhdlist.sh but afterwards the install failed (it was
succesful but afterwards lot of packages did not work) because (as far
as I understand from the /root/install.log the order of the packages
was not ok. I also added the packages I have to add to the comps.xml
file, but that did not make any change (except that way I am able to
select the (newly created) group in the %selections section of the
kickstart file.
So, to make it short, my question is: what's the correct procedure to
add all rpms into a single location, add some rpms (Tivoli TSM in my
case), and then recreate the rpm indexes etc?

.
