Good idea, also running oVirt Node has read-only rootfs, so any update attempt would fail. And for a graceful failure, we could have a yum plugin which aborts transaction if it detects running Node, with a user-friendly message. > If we put yum on the node, then plugin installation could be as simple as: > mount ISO > cp foo.repo /etc/yum.conf.d/ > yum install foo --enablerepo=foo Of course, you still need edit-livecd around this, which will handle setting up chroot and repackaging updated rootfs back into ISO.
