I'm booting from floppy and do nfs install... linux dd ks=nfs:192.168.1.1:/img/IMG/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 The iso is the one from de distribution, mounted through loopback and having one rpm replaced and hdlist regenerated. Then I create the iso... What I'm interested in, is how can I replace an existing package with a newer one right at the install without having later to run an up2date.
