================================================================
  After you've successfully booted from livecd and logged into root shell, invoke anaconda:
  
  {{{
- anaconda -T -m ftp://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/
+ anaconda -T -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/
  }}}
+ 
+ Please note that http installation is preferred to ftp due to the way yum (current backend) works. It fetches package headers using partial download and ftp does not offer that feature.
  
  This will anaconda install from the selected url.

  In order to test your changes without building a whole new CD, you can test Anaconda on your local system. To do so, go to the folder where your local build is and type:
  
  {{{
- sudo ./anaconda --test -T -m ftp://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/
+ sudo ./anaconda --test -T -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/
  }}}
  
  You can also test the graphic mode using:
  
  {{{
- sudo ./anaconda --test -G -m ftp://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/
+ sudo ./anaconda --test -G -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/
  }}}

  To install into a chroot, pass the {{{-r}}} command line switch:
  
  {{{
- anaconda -G -m ftp://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/ -r /path/to/chroot
+ anaconda -G -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/ -r /path/to/chroot
  }}}
  
  This will skip the partitioning steps and proceed with software selection and package installation.
