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.
