Doing that on a live system is scary. Then create package with a grub entry that boots on a ramdisk to perform stuff. The problem with anaconda is its wizard-like approach. As many wizards, as soon as you deviate from the road the developper dreamed up for you, things starts to fall apart. Many useful anaconda tools are not available unless you tell the system you're doing an upgrade. And even when you're really doing an upgrade, if you have a problem at any step everything fails. If your bios supports booting on your drive, you can start anaconda, except it will try to re-load the drive with the linux driver so you can end up with a funny situation where you booted from a CD that can't find itself later Ditto for X11 support. However when you're upgrading the upgraded system already knows how boot, or how to drive the X11 system, so there's absolutely no reason for the upgrade process to pretend it's a new system, try to guess up everything from scratch, and force the use of a CD drive (a hardisk may have been installed initially on a full system, then moved to a CD/DVD/usb-less system) -- Nicolas Mailhot
