Whoops, hit enter before I could give an example:

url --url=http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/centos/5.0/os/x86_64/
repo --name Centos5Updates --baseurl http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/centos/5.0/updates/x86_64/

The first line informs anaconda what the base install method is, url,
via a mirror in Oregon.  The second line adds the Centos 5 updates repo
to the mix.
