Clearly Red Hat knows the process to create these RPMs. Can a
Red Hat employee let me know what this process is? Thanks.

I'm experiencing a chicken'n'egg problem with several RPMs.
If I rebuild the comps and rpmdb RPMs after running

the installation fails stating that there was a problem with the
rpmdb RPM. If I don't rebuild the comps and rpmdb RPMs then the
installation is successful but the comps and rpmdb RPMs don't
contain the correct information about the RPMs on the CD. Exactly
how and when should I rebuild these RPMs?
You should be able to rebuild the rpmdb RPM before you run genhdlist,
and you need to rebuild the comps rpm after you run genhdlist. Once you
rebuild the comps RPM, don't put it in the RedHat/RPMS directory; put it
in the RedHat/base, and rename it comps.rpm.
