Hello.
I have a prototype Kadischi here that can be invoked from LiveCD made
with Kadischi and also acts as a installer to disk from LiveCD.
The problems I am having relate to packages.py, yuminstall.py and
grabber.py in the Python package under yum and urlgrabber site-packages.
Well, I finally got it working, but I had to hack the heck out of
Anaconda to do so.
Currently this is what had to be changed: <attached>
Could we fix some of this in RAWHIDE perhaps, so this hackery won't be
neccessary?
It seems alot of exceptions occur when a device already exists!
