1 drive math ability: if i have two hd's in my system i want to be able
to say
ignore hda and split hdb @ %50 use upper half for linux root
(could also be useful for auto install disk)
2 a real upgrade ability: if the installer detects a valid filesystem
and a valid fstab
it should state " Installed Linux root filesystem detected assume
upgrade??"
(drakes easy way to detect do an ls on each drive and if folders are
right try to pull /ect/fstab from the disk)
and then find the rpm database and see what is installed.
3 when directly looking at the disk a text file to match rpms with
programs :
so i could look at tom2.2.mdk.ix86.rpm and know i need dick* and harry*
but i also need to not have fred*
installed (useful when im actually looking at an ftp site)
