RE: How to Create a Custom Bootable Redhat 9.0 CD on a single CD

I used that link and mostly this mailing list and articles on the
internet. I have the whole file at home. I can send you some more links
during the weekend. 

Mostly trial and error and then asking this list brought me to where I
am now (Miles from where I want to be but closer is better than
nothing).

I have included kickstart (ks.cfg) but have not been really successful
with it. This is the next hurdle to master.

What have you accomplished so far?

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?

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. 

Next I would like to add Gnome.

How far did you get?  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

I am/was having the same problem Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a
how-to geared to RH0 either.

However this article here
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6473

Was the most helpful so far.

Subject: How to Create a Custom Bootable Redhat 9.0 CD on a single CD

I am having trouble getting information on how to create a custom
bootable CD for RedHat 9.0  I find few article for 7.3 and earlier, but
RedHat don't use the same comps file structure anymore.  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
