It's neat that you can now do: $ guestfish -a F14x64.img -i \ inspect-get-package-management /dev/vg_f13x64/lv_root yum But it would be better if we didn't have to "know" the root filesystem there, something like: $ guestfish -a F14x64.img -i <<EOF set roots inspect-get-roots inspect-get-package-management %{roots[0]} EOF yum I've not quite worked out what this would look like, or if it's really a good idea to add such additional complexity to guestfish. Though I do wish I'd written a proper lex/yacc parser in the first place ...
