On our 6.2 kickstarts we used this perl script to munge our own RPMs into the distribution: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/KickStart-HOWTO-14.html Does the buildinstall do all the work of the above script? In particular, the perl script was pretty good and figuring out new rpms and inserting them into the root. I read several posts about samples/examples of using anaconda. Can someone post examples? genhdlist [--withnumbers] [--fileorder <path>] [--hdlist <path>] <paths>+ Like what do these parameters mean? Can someone show an execution of this program? Ditto for buildinstall Usage: buildinstall [--comp <component>] [--pkgorder <file>] [--version <version>] <root> -- Bob Tanner <tanner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
