Dear all,
I was wondering how difficult (I would do a much as I could) to add an option for install/asking for a security update CD or extra package CD to the installer.
So, when installing Fedora you could tick a box and then be asked for a CD with all the latest updates on it, or an extra CD with say Wine3x or Cross overoffice or any other rpms you have.
This would be extremely useful for people with modems that buy a CD set form someone.
What are everyones thoughts?
Don't you already have this in some form from firstboot? It asks if you want to install other packages from other CDs. I have never looked at what kind of format the other CDs need to be in for it to deal happily with it. Possibly a simple extension from that would be all that is needed. If course, being able to just point it to a website/yum repo/ nfs location would be nice too.
