I don't know of any docs, but if you're using kickstart, you can add
yum repos in your kickstart config that will be used during install.
One such repo could be the updates repo.  You'll need to be using
either exploaded NFS or http install methods, isos won't work.
Anaconda uses yum to do the package seeking and installing, so if yum
finds a newer package <foo> in your addon repo, it will install that
instead of the <foo> in your base repo.
