Better even than having the installer image, just package up a script (or even simple pygtk app) that asks where you're wanting to upgrade from and then downloads the kernel + initrd from there and does the rest. This makes things far more general and more likely to work with, eg, Unity respins, custom distros, etc. Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
