Hrmm -- there's nothing at the moment. But I can definitely see it making some sense. And being able to differentiate for pungi as well. It would be easy enough to set an environment variable if that would help. I guess you could also key off of the existence of /root/anaconda-ks.cfg for it being an anaconda install, but that's definitely into heuristics territory > 2) Redhat Enterprise 5 Problem > > We've been able to successfully bundle RHEL5 as a live image.

Is this a > problem with a missing kernel module? Any ideas on how to fix this? Yeah, if you look in livecd-creator, you'll see that we now write out things like "=ata" as the modules to use. Which won't work for RHEL5 as it doesn't have the file to do that mapping. At the same time, I really don't want to have to keep around the list of all of the pata/sata modules and have to keep updating it as the list changes over time :-/. Open to suggestions, though.
