struggling with this... Can I pass anaconda the NFS install path from

I've been reading that anaconda can be updated by putting Python modules in

Selecting NFS home via %pre section<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I think anaconda is not involved at the stage of selection install method
its done in the loader if I'm not totally wrong. The loader is actually
parsing the kickstart config file (that how I discovered that it doesn't stop
parsing when it hits "%installclass" as it should. Hence you can't do a pre
thingy to set install type.... since it needs to be present much earlier
