How do the > pros do it ? Do they cut a CD to test each feature ? Nah, that would be craziness. I don't even have a CD writer on my box at work. The main two things used are test mode and NFS installs. Test mode is good for testing a lot of UI type issues, although less useful for testing big chunks of code that have to get executed for things like formatting filesystems. From the anaconda tree you're working in, run with something like `./anaconda --test --method=nfs://some/directory/where/you/have/a/tree`. NFS installs are great for testing things as well when you actually want to see things being put down on the disk. Cheers, Jeremy
