I've just released new versions of boot.img and supp.img for testing. You
can get them from ftp.redhat.com:/ewt if you're interested. These haven't
seen much testing, but they seem to work fine. They include
1) mount/umount/cat/rm/lsmod/mknod/mkdir are all built into
the main install binary and are accessible from the shell
on tty2. If you're having problems with an ftp or hard drive
install, this might help you
2) the supp.img is loaded into a ramdisk, making a install go
faster
3) some memory leaks in librpm have been cleaned up, signifcantly
reducing the memory load during an install
4) proxy ftp and non-anonymous ftp are supported during installs
If anyone tries these, please let me know (via private email) if they work
for you or not.
