And since loader's HTTP logic doesn't accept HTTP redirects, we cannot
specify an alternate location for updates.img using Apache
configuration. This is something we have a bug (91488) and IT (72054).
PM said it wouldn't be considered until RHEL 5.
I assume that with Anaconda getting yum integration, you'll be using the
urlgrabber libraries for downloading things. If that's the case, HTTP
redirects should be supported (yum already understands them). Is that
true with the new Anaconda?
