The (minor) difficulty is getting the right installer. label rh72 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img rel=7.2 devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 vga=788 label rh73 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img rel=7.3 devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 vga=788 You need to have a front-end that chroots to the correct installer Testing will require a rewritable DVD. You could test with CD-RW using a suitably small subset - say the base set of each 7.x release. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
