Okay, I'll have a look at both ideas:
- fixing up
distro-query to not use SIS data before it is available
- checking the
/tftpboot/rpm pool's distro and eventually copying it over to
the right name
(or linking that in or something). Need to check a few things
(whether the
md5sum stuff will work the same way, for
example).
Regards,
Erich
