An ISO image of *THAT OS* will not be very useful to a linux kernel. Anaconda used in this way doesn't use the bootable (El Torito) part of the ISO. It just loop mounts it (thus requiring NFS not HTTP or FTP) and gets the RPMS & other installation files. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
