[EXTERNAL EMAIL] I hate replying to my own posts, but I downloaded the SLI iso and converted it to a pxeimage. It's 1.8GB which is way too large but I noticed that it has a ramdisk for /var/cache/yum, is this where dsu automatically writes everything?

We really like using dsu to do updates so we are trying to create a live image that basically just runs DSU and then turns the server off. The issue I am running into is that dsu seems to be writing data to the / partition and since this is a live image the filesystem goes read-only after it writes about 300MB to the filesystem. Is there a way to make DSU only use /tmp or any other ramdisk based partition when it runs? Thanks, -Drew
