There are countless ways to implement this with most Fedora and
Enterprise Linux (EL) releases today.

One is to use YUM repositories, or a Spacewalk (RHN upstream) server,
which are tapped during the installation process, assuming any Fedora
release since 2006 and EL 5, which adds Yum support to Anaconda.

Another is to still use YUM or Spacewalk/RHN, but handle the
installation in the %post via YUM (or up2date).  That removes any
requirements that Anaconda have YUM support.

Lastly, and slightly more involved, is to mix in the RPMs into the
source tree for earlier Anaconda relases.  I don't recommend this
method, especially since YUM is available for even older EL releases,
let alone all Fedora releases, and can be done in the %post.
