Sufficiently nasty bugs have updates.img files made available. This is practically about as good as releasing an updated boot.iso; probably anyone who'd figure out to look for and use an updated boot.iso is capable of using an updates.img instead, and anyone who wouldn't manage to use an updates.img probably wouldn't manage to use a boot.iso either. > if they are unlucky enough to hit a bug not found prior to release. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
