Hi All:
How is stage2= suppose to work? For the hdinstall.c in the patch,
if you give "anything" as stage2= then the installer looks for
/mnt/isodir/images/stage2.img to loopback mount, then still looks in the
user given iso directory. Kind of like an override for the stage2 on the
iso, as a bonus if you can't find stage2, backing out clears the flag,
and will look to the iso for stage2. At least you could have an install
tree, like a nfs install with a bit of work. Maybe an "boot.iso-2-usb
drive" could work now? (It does...)
I thought the whole idea of having stage2 available was to cut down on
memory usage. Any reason to copy stage2 to /tmp? for hd nfs cdrom
installs? didn't think so... then here is a patch...
Just some thoughts,
Jerry
