Anaconda Boot Disk Patch

Boot up patches.

Be careful with this file. It contains control characters, which are created by pressing Ctrl+v, and then Ctrl+letter. For instance, [Ctrl+v,Ctrl+o] means to press Ctrl+v, and then Ctrl+o. 0f and 07 after [Ctrl+v,Ctrl+o] below are both the number zero, not the letter.
Just download this patch here: [[%ATTACHURL%/bootdisk.patch] [bootdisk.patch]

Right click on the link and choose Save Link Target As...

Check the file to ensure that it has the special control characters.

This is a conglomeration of [[%ATTACHURL%/../Bootmsg/boot.msg.patch] [boot.msg.patch] , [[%ATTACHURL%/../Syslinuxcfg/syslinux.cfg.patch] [syslinux.cfg.patch] , [[%ATTACHURL%/../MakeDiskDruidTheDefault/disk-druid-default.patch] [disk-druid-default.patch] , [[%ATTACHURL%/../EnableMediaCheckInKickstart/mediacheck-in-kickstart.patch] [mediacheck-in-kickstart.patch] , and [[%ATTACHURL%/../DontUnmountCD-ROMBeforeRunningPostInKickstart/Do-not-unmount-cdrom.patch] [Do-not-unmount-cdrom.patch] .
