updates.img. This does not require any modification to the installation tree. To use this method, edit the kernel command line to includeinst.updates.inst.updates=http://website.com/path/to/updates.img.Updates from a disk image
Save an
updates.imgon a USB key.inst.updates=sda1:/images/updates.imgfor an updates image located in theimagesdirectory on thesda1device orinst.updates=UUID=b4234403-dafb-44c1-b878-4d57b40c9843:/updates.imgfor an update image located in the root directory of a partition identified by its UUID.Updates from an installation tree
