Bump again... There's got to be a way to do this. (Even Windows has had
splipstreaming since Win2k!) FC5 is not a week old and it's already got
a dozen updates. Is there any way to get Anaconda to check a folder for
updates during installation? I've looked for documentation from
Anaconda but there's little there...
