Cool, did you following the direction on the link you send me? Do you have your own write up on this? Did you embed kickstart with your CD? dwc -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Rau (private) [mailto:alexander_rau@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 4:33 PM To: Chan, Dominic Cc: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: How to Create a Custom Bootable Redhat 9.0 CD on a single CD Please use the list, too, when you reply anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Anyways, I have it down to one CD so far including the Base, Core and X-Window system.

At this point in time, I would be happy to trim down from 3 cd and a floppy to just one cd and a floppy. I don't ever care if the ks.cfg is on the cd or not dwc -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Rau (private) [mailto:alexander_rau@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 1:47 PM To: Chan, Dominic; anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: How to Create a Custom Bootable Redhat 9.0 CD on a single CD I am/was having the same problem Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a how-to geared to RH0 either.

In any case, do anyone know of any site or article that will show you how to create a custom redhat 9.0 CD. What I have done so far is create a kickstart configuration. I am able to an automatic install with the stock RedHat 9.0 CD and a floppy without a problem. Since our install contain only 188 packages, I would like to create a single CD that contain all of the RPM that is require from disc 1, 2, and 3 (also the core). And if possible, put my ks.cfg file on the cd also (but this part for me right now would be consider a bonus). >From what I gather so far, I have create a build directory under /var call LZBuild Inside my /var/LZBuild, I have copy all of the contents from the 1st CD to its (include the .discinfo file). Afterward, I copy the missing RPM I need with my kickstart install from Disc 2 and Disc 3 into the same RPMS folder under /var/LZBuild (the absolute path is /var/LZBuild/RedHat/RPMS/) Afterward, I delete some of the RPMS I didn't need from my new /var/LZBuild/RedHat/RPMS/ folders. Afterward, the folder size for /var/LZBuild is under 650 Meg. I then run the following command to update the hdlist file inside my /var/LZBuild/RedHat/base/ folder (before I execute the command, I delete the original hdlist and hdlist2 just to be sure. /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --hdlist /var/LZBuild/RedHat/base/hdlist /var/LZBuild After this part, I am lose! How do I update the Comps file? What command/syntax do I use? I could use all the help I could get please Dwc _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
