Re: Ejecting CD after kickstart installation

Hi Chris

That's great that is has been implemented for the future at least.
But then I'm wondering, can you not tweak that stuff and get it into the FC3 installation already? Is it possible to take the installation from FC5 and just remove all the packages, add the FC3 packages and rebuild the hdlists and use that installation?

Or just go in to the installation for the FC3, maybe mount the init-image and add the eject-command into the installation somewhere?

This doesn't help you for FC3, but FC5 and later will allow you to
specify:

   reboot --eject

Or shutdown, halt, etc. to eject the CD when it reboots.  Just for your
future reference.
