[PATCH 4/4] If anaconda is not run from loader or liveinst, fail.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Running anaconda from the command line has only ever been halfway supported
or functional.  Now with test mode and rootPath modes gone, running from the
command line doesn't make any sense.  So, catch this case and exit.
