I'd rather ask; Why use anaconda? At the end of the day, installation is
a pretty basic task
- yum install what you want
- write out some configuration files
- perform other post-installation configuration.
So, you know, I'd hate to replace < 100 lines of code by depending on
anaconda, which, I might add, is designed to do far more than the
relatively straightforward task of doing live cd's. I'm not even sure it
makes sense to carry around code in anaconda to facilitate live cd
installs but I'll leave that judgement call to the Anaconda developers.
Ok. Good luck partitioning a disk in any sort of way with Yum.
Sorry to come in,
But you can use another livecd to partition the disk (gparted,systemrescue,knoppix,etc)
and pre-partition it and then use the new livecd and just install it to a preformatted
partition, ext2,ext3, etc. Anyway with Anaconda, one cannot resize NTFS partitions, we
still another type of cd to perform these actions.
