So then we're in the situation where the repo metadata refers to (potentially) tons of packages that don't exist. You know, if the stage2 also contained createrepo we could just rebuild the metadata on the hard drive partition and.... wait, no, bad idea. Realistically we could be in the same position with NFS installs as well. However I bet a lot more people would do HD installs than NFS installs so we are probably setting ourselves up for real problems here if we re-enable this. I'm not attached to the idea. It just seems like we've already got all the code in place to do it. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
