We add repositories to the package management system (Apt/Rpm) and pull the 
packages in during install. So e.g. we're adding 
graphics.tuxedocomputers.com to keep back untested graphics driver versions.

These repositories are accessible for manual installations as well as our 
fully automated ones during the manufacturing process.

Cheers,
