Your path names may be different but you will get the idea. AFAICS, None of the updates affect network functionality. > How to update RH 7.2 anaconda from updatedisk: > ---------------------------------------------- Very cool. Thanks. > 0. mkdir -p /mnt/linux /mnt/linux1 /mnt/linux2 /tmp/LINUX1 /tmp/LINUX2 I did it like this: - loop-mount the update disk - replace all the python scripts in /usr/lib/anaconda with those from the update - run buildinstall to create a new installer (at this point usr splitdistro to create cdrom images) I'm not 100% sure if simply using the libparted.so library installed on on the build system (which I assume is used by buildinstall) is adequate for the changes needed to affect what is provided in the updates. Can anyone enlighten me on this point? Does buildinstall need to be told (or hacked) to use the version from the updates? Cheers Tony
