Re: Creating an ext 2 image update

[Joel Andres Granados <jgranado redhat com>]

The best way to test stuff with anaconda is to pass the updates image on the command line.

1. create an updates image. Go to (http://jgranado.fedorapeople.org/anaconda/scripts/createUpdates).  There has been lots of scripts to do this but this is what I use.
2. Put the image on the network somewhere (http server)
3. start install and pass "updates=http://server/path/to/updates.img";

this should work for all anaconda py files and should also work for the libraries that anaconda uses.

Hope it helps.
