How to rebuild an Anaconda initrd/kernel with updated drivers?

[Pablo Iranzo Gómez]

	Hi
	Try with this "driverdisk --source=ftp://path/to/dd.img driverdisk
--source=http://path/to/dd.img driverdisk --source=nfs:host:/path/to/img
"  syntax, check first if it works with your particular release at the
documentation, if so, putting it at your kickstarting, would help.

	Regards
	Pablo
