I demonstrated the .iso result of that script, at the Central OH LUG meeting a few hours ago. http://www.colug.net/presentations/ July 03 meeting entry It worked on all CD booting units present at the meeting but one; it caused a hard lockup of a current version SuSE box in a VMWare execution environment. It locks up my older AMD processor (that same unit had trouble with some other RH provided kernel/anaconda combinations as well), but works on all Intel test units. It would/should work with RHL 9 as well, as there is no anaconda dependency, no comps dependency; two chaages -- dropping in a proper kernel, and updateing the RPMs archive for its chrooted install It does depend on getting a clean cloop modules build, and I have not tested that against the RHL 9 kernel yet. Please contact me off list, as this is out of scope of Anaconda, if interested. -- Russ Herrold -- end ======================================+ .-- -... ---.. ... -.- -.-- | Copyright (C) 2003 R P Herrold | Owl River Company herrold@xxxxxxxxxxxx NIC: RPH5 (US) | "The World is Open to Linux (tm)" My words are not deathless prose, | Open Source LINUX solutions ... but they are mine. | info@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- Columbus, OH gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 0x7BFB98B9 gpg --list-keys 2> /dev/null | grep 7BFB98B9
