I think that I figured it out. It looks like loader.c will check
/tmp/updates/anaconda for updates. If you pass the `updates` flag at boot,
it will copy everything from the updates floppy to /tmp/updates. So, I
copied anaconda (from the source) to my updates floppy (a ext2 formatted
floppy), and changed line 323 from:
if iutil.memInstalled() < isys.MIN_RAM:
to:
if iutil.memInstalled() < 6000:
I had to boot from a fixed floppy boot.img, and typed `linux updates
mem=16M'. It then asked for an updates disk, and used the fixed anaconda,
and then started the install.
So, our users can download a fixed boot.img, and an updates disk, and still
use the regular Red Hat 7.2 discs!
I wonder if we can pass a different comps file...
