[linux-fai] preloading files to /tmp

[Thomas Gebhardt]

Hi,

since there were no objections concerning my first posting, I
implemented my proposal into the install_packages script.

Now it is possible to preload a file into some directory of
the install client before installing a package, e.g.
(package config file for realplayer)

##################
PRELOAD http://<my-fai-server>/preload/rp7_linux20_libc6_i386_b2_rpm /root
 
PACKAGES install
realplayer
##################

This will load rp7_linux20_libc6_i386_b2_rpm into /tmp/target/root
(by wget) and install the realplayer package afterwards.

Kind regards, Thomas
