Hi.
Sounds great. I'll try this out.
It will be much faster to install this way instead of downloading when
installing.
When I upgraded some years ago I edited that file, hope it will work
this time too.
If so I'll be very happy. It will be almost how I installed fedora
core many years ago.
Easy and fast.
