6. Solution:
Download the update disk image,
then create an update diskette. This can be done by using the same
procedure used to create a boot diskette.
For more information, refer to the following URL:

Please note that you must substitute the update disk image filename for the filename used in the example.
When booting into the anaconda
installation program, type "linux updates" at the boot prompt, followed
by any other installation options which are required (such as "expert"
or "text" or "ks"). The installation process will prompt you to insert
the updates disk when it is required, and the install will then proceed
as normal.
