I don't know if this will work, but I figured I'd throw the idea out
there and see what you guys thought. I have a cd-r drive and I
downloaded the directory tree of the Redhat 6.0 cd back in May. Since,
there's been a bunch of changes. I've updated my hardware since then as
well. I now need to reinstall linux on a new drive that i just
purchased. However, I'm having trouble with my ATA controller card, and
my TNT2 video card. What i was thinking is this:
1)Download the new RPMs of the kernel and the
XFree86 and replace them on the cd.
2)Run the install.
3)Everything works great.
Now, i don't know if this will work but for someone who has a lot of
trouble as soon as he starts recompiling kernels and tries to set
options manually, this seems like a viable solution. I don't know if
anyone's tried it or if it will work. Maybe there's a project in
progress somewhere? If not, maybe we should start one? I think this
would be an excellent program for Windows. So every 6 months when I
reinstall win98 i don't have to install the original cd, then install
second edition updates, then download all the hotfixes and patches. I
could just throw in my newly burned cd with all of those fixes already
applied and boom, back in business.
