I've always wanted to be able to run anaconda and just point it to a partition or image and have it install their. Use case: I have a remote machine in a data centre with 1 hard drive, but 1 free partition and I want to upgrade to the latest version of RH/Fedora, will it would be nice to: # anaconda --installfrom /FC16.ISO --install /dev/sda3 etc.. or # anaconda --installfrom /FC16.ISO --install fc16-x64.img etc.. The hardware environment would be the same as the system it is running on, so NICs, video etc .. can be detected from the running system. This allows me to upgrade with risk of losing my current system (and possible access). It could then just install another kernel to /boot and as a side effect you have dual boot :) Real Guy. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
