How would a kickstart user get the updates enabled?
I'm thinking the updates should be on one cd/dvd* by themselves, but
obviously there should be a way to make Anaconda to look, and find out
they're there. No problem for a network install, of course, there just
needs to be a standard place for the updates.
Or USB disk or other location. 1 Gb flash drives are getting extremely
cheap:-)
