I've expressed the same desire to Anas, but I don't think he ever had a
chance to implement it (and i know i never gave it a try.) Anas... i
didn't see any new command line options. Did i miss something?
BTW, you can create a 'loop' device which is a filesystem on on a file,
so you can:
# sudo moblin-image-creator -c some.ks -f loop -k /var/tmp/my-cache
# sudo mount -o loop some-TIMESTAMP.img /some/mount/point
# sudo mount --bind /proc /some/mount/point # so you can use yum
# sudo cp /etc/hosts /some/mount/point/ect/ # so you can use yum
# sudo chroot /some/mount/point
Anas, seems all we really need is a way to say:
'take this loop file and transform it into <pick an image type>'
Or maybe something more generic to allow transforming between any format
type (like take a vmware disk and transform it into a usbkey)
