Re: Ejecting CD after kickstart installation

["Mattias Andersson" <tiaskillen hotmail com>]

Hi Chris

That's great that is has been implemented for the future at least.
But then I'm wondering, can you not tweak that stuff and get it into the FC3 
installation already?
Is it possible to take the installation from FC5 and just remove all the 
packages, add the FC3 packages and rebuild the hdlists and use that 
installation?

Or just go in to the installation for the FC3, maybe mount the init-image 
and add the eject-command into the installation somewhere?
