Re: requiring .discinfo in exploded remote trees



I may have initially misunderstood your response.

That's only if you insist on including a stage2.img on the cdrom, which
won't work with multiple kernel/initrd pairs anyhow. We don't need to
check for the .discinfo on the boot cd unless you're doing the http with
local stage2. 

So, you cannot have a single boot cd that can boot multiple releases and
do http installs for any/all of the releases using the local stage2.img.
You can, however, have a single cd that can boot multiple kernel/initrd
pairs and use it to do installations of various releases over the
network, as long as your boot media matches your target tree.
