I'll try to fix the page, but until that, here is a guide for the new, easy process: 1. find out which version of anaconda you want to create and updates.img for (the version without your changes) 2. run the scripts/makeupdates script with specifying the version from step 1 as e.g.: $ scripts/makeupdates -t anaconda-19.31.99-1 3. upload the updates.img file created by step 2 to a webserver or copy it to the toplevel directory of your repository 3.1 if using a webserver for updates.img, append inst.updates=URL_OF_YOUR_UPDATES_IMG to boot options. The new updates.img format is a gzipped cpio archive and it is applied to the installation tree. So you can even modify things outside of Anaconda. A very useful option for the makeupdates scripts is '-a' which allows you to add an RPM (extracted) to the updates.img. Hope this helps and works for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on IRC freenode/#anaconda. -- Vratislav Podzimek Anaconda Rider | Red Hat, Inc. | Brno - Czech Republic _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
