Future versions will be using 2.4 kernels, which can mount filesystems
over loopback when the backing file is on a NFS device. That means
that we can package all of the files normally in RedHat/instimage into
the RedHat/base/stage2.img. This means fewer files, and removes the
need to have all these binary files on the FTP sites... It also lets
us do the multi-cd install by copying stage2.img to the hard drive and
calling an ioctl to change the backing store from the CD-ROM to the
hard drive (this freeing it to be ejected so the install can continue
on CD 2).
As for extracting files, "rpm2cpio anaconda-runtime* | cpio -idv"
works much better than "rpm -r ...."
