anaconda之bug fix
打开anaconda源码目录下的/docs/command-line.txt，其中有这么一句话：
updates Prompt for floppy containing updates (bug fixes). 那么在bug fix当中，每次都去制作iso，不仅浪费时间，而且效果欠佳。最后就是越做越烦。那么有了这么一个工具，确实减轻了bug fix的繁琐。然后去anaconda的网站上查找得到如下资料（地址是http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates）： Anaconda Updates anaconda has the capability to incorporate updates at runtime to fix any bugs or issues with the installer. These updates are generally distributed as a disk image file (referred to as updates.img from here on out). The updates.img can be used in a few different ways. Updates types There are a number of sources for the updates. Updates from a disk image The most common way of using an updates.img is to put it on a block device (either a floppy or a USB key). For a floppy drive, insert your floppy and then run dd if=updates.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=72k count=20 to put the contents of the image on your floppy. Then, boot the installer with linux updates and you will be prompted to provide the location of your update disk. You can also use a USB key or flash media -- just replace /dev/fd0 with the device that your USB key is at. Updates from the Tree If you're doing a network installation, you can also put the updates.img in your tree to be picked up by all installs from that tree. For Fedora Core 6 and later, put the file as images/updates.img in your Fedora installation tree. Earlier releases look in Fedora/base/updates.img. Updates from the Network If you're doing a network install and cannot modify your installation tree, you can place an updates.img in another location and boot with linux updates=http://some.website.com/path/to/updates.img to load the updates.img from a remote web server. If you have multiple network interfaces, anaconda will first prompt you to select one (unless you have used the ksdevice= boot parameter). It will then attempt to configure this link using DHCP. If you require other networking configuration, you will need to use various options. ksdevice= can be used to specify a different network device, and the ip= option (along with others for gateway, nameserver, and so forth) can be used for static configuration. All anaconda config options are described elsewhere . How to Create an Anaconda Updates Image If you are working on anaconda or looking at a bug and want to test your own bug fixes, it's easy to create your own updates.img file. There are two formats for the updates.img file. The first, and most common, is a gzip-compressed ext2 filesystem. The second is a gzip-compressed cpio archive. Just do the following steps. Compressed ext2 filesystem image This is the more traditional form of an updates.img and is required for older releases of anaconda. It is also slightly more preferred if you are going to transfer the updates image to a floppy disk. Note that this requires root privileges.
