I believe I was the one that send you the email regarding to RedHat 9.0. In your article, you mention that you didn't have to rebuild comps.xml because you install the full @core and @base group. In my case, if I take out some of the package from the @core /@base group, do I need to rebuild comps.xml. Also, what file tells anaconda which CD the packages is on? dwc -----Original Message----- From: Brett Schwarz [mailto:brett_schwarz@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 7:37 PM To: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: How to Create a Custom Bootable Redhat 9.0 CD on a single CD I believe someone sent a message to this mailing list that had comments to get my article working with RH9. Unfortunately, I don't have it handle, because my computer is packed away. I know searching these archives are very easy, but it may be worth your while to try to find that posting. Just curious, why haven't you been successful with the ks.cfg file? --brett --- "Alexander Rau (private)" <alexander_rau@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I used that link and mostly this mailing list and > articles on the > internet.
