It decompresses the packages and copies the needed files to the loopmounted images. So if you want to change the installation appearance or functionality then you'll have to change the code in the installation-packages. > Regarding buildng , I followed these steps: > 6.

To compare I ran the steps: ## First do some editing in the source, then make the diff: diff -urN anaconda-8.0 anaconda-8.0-cardinal > anaconda-8.0-cardinal-date +'%Y%m%d-%H'.patch ## The modified spec-file contains the following rows: <SNIP> BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/anaconda-%{PACKAGE_VERSION} Patch: anaconda-8.0-cardinal-20021031-12.patch <SNIP> %setup -q %patch -p1 %build <SNIP> ## Build the new packages: [root@alicia SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba anaconda-cardinal.spec ## The output contains the following lines: + echo 'Patch #0 (anaconda-8.0-cardinal-20021031-12.patch):' Patch #0 (anaconda-8.0-cardinal-20021031-12.patch): + patch -p1 -s + exit 0 <SNIP> Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/anaconda-8.0-11Cardinal.src.rpm Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-8.0-11Cardinal.i386.rpm Wrote: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-runtime-8.0-11Cardinal.i386.rpm ## We install the binary packages: [root@alicia SPECS]# rpm -Fvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-8.0-11Cardinal.i386.rpm /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-runtime-8.0-11Cardinal.i386.rpm ## And copy them to the buildtree: cp /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-8.0-11Cardinal.i386.rpm /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-runtime-8.0-11Cardinal.i386.rpm /redhat/i386/Cardinal/RPMS/ ## The package information: [root@alicia SPECS]# rpm -qip /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-8.0-11Cardinal.i386.rpm Name : anaconda Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 8.0 Vendor: (none) Release : 11Cardinal Build Date: Thu 31 Oct 2002 12:43:24 PM EET Install date: (not installed) Build Host: alicia.intra.cardinal.fi Group : Applications/System Source RPM: anaconda-8.0-11Cardinal.src.rpm Size : 8362098 License: GPL Signature : (none) URL : http://www.cardinal.fi/ Summary : The Cardinal Linux installation program. Description : The anaconda package contains the Cardinal Linux installation program. These files are of little use on an already installed system. After this I go through the CDROM-building steps and as a result get a distribution which shows the changes. Does your rpm -qip-output show the correct Release-number if you bump the number up?
