You'd also need the cheap hack for the parted package. I'll try to dig up both the parted and the anaconda diffs this afternoon if I get a spare minute (I think they're hiding on my laptop somewhere :) Of course, the simpler answer, IMHO, is if you're using NFS for your installs, to use an RHupdates directory as already mentioned. Alternately, I snuck a bit of added functionality onto the updated boot.img and bootnet.img so that if you have a file RedHat/base/updates.img in your tree, it should get used as an update disk for all install types. I checked to make sure it worked properly with ftp and http, beyond that YMMV but it should work fine. If not, please bugzilla it since that is going to be a real documented feature for the next release. Cheers, Jeremy
