So now for dumb questions. Is this something I can do when upgrading from a wireless box using yum? If so where in the process does install.img become available to me for copying? Should I just let it run through to the confirmation screen and then say no, perform the copy process, and then yes at confirmation or do the copy before hand? Also, I'm assuming preupgrade never enters the picture - correct?
