[Fedora-livecd-list] hdd installs from livecd patch - where?

[Jasper O'neal Hartline]

Here is the outline below for Anaconda on LiveCD to install from HDD:

1) Don't use rootpath method at all, Anaconda handles this already 
during a real installation
2) Setup Kadischi patches for running using --hddinstall flags
3) Setup Anaconda to use --livecd or --hddinstall flags (--livecd method 
already in development)
4) In fsset.py utilities are in /sbin not /usr/bin or /usr/sbin like 
mke2fs and mkfs.jfs or tune2fs
5) Anaconda shows only Ext2 to be available from LiveCD installs
6) Let Kadischi run in --hddinstall mode only if /.livecd file is 
present (This is an Kadischi internal problem)
7) (This may be fixed in CVS) During mkDMNode() we fail if devices 
already exist in /dev
8) Syslogd.py module is invoked with the wrong filepath. (/sbin vs. 
/usr/sbin problems etc.)

This is in particular order in which problems were encountered.
I have rectified the problems yet I still get a failure on "usermod 
cannot be run" during fsset.py and right before installing packages.
Thanks
