Is any further information needed to advance this bug? I see it is still in NEW status? Someone to do the work. Seriously. (: Adding FutureFeature keyword to RFE's. This is easily added to the kickstart file by the local admin who will know the specific hardware and location to back these files up to. *** Bug 650709 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Presently Anaconda emits a record of that it initially installs, and the ks.cfg which it used. It would be useful to extend this a tiny bit, to help an admin who is careful to snap a backup post install of the fresh machine, at minimal space cost, by adding to the end of installation files laid down, something like this: for f in $installDeviceList dd if=/dev/$f bs=512 count=1 of=/root/partitioning-$f.img It then becomes possible to recover more effectively with rescue image.
