RE: [cobalt-security] Best way to patch restored raq4r?

["Jamie - i-Dot" <jamie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recently tried a similar script to this, on a R4,

But ened up with lots of botched pkg installed,  gpg errors and cant
find /somewhere/uprade_dir/foo/rpms/summin.rpm

Ended up having to reformat again and do it the old way again,

Anyone got any thoughts?

Here is a "variation" on that script that will use a file you create
with the packages in the order you want them installed - and does not
remove the packages after install (so you can run from /home/packages
and leave them there).
