I too am interested in running buildinstall. For the ppmtolss16 error,
let's
try the following fix, insert LANG=C just before the command you just ran:
LANG=C buildinstall ...
Sincerely,
Richard Black

Hello,
I'm trying to create boot floppies for RH 9 using anaconda-runtime's
buildinstall program. When I run it, I see various errors and I wonder
which ones are actually problems:

The ppmtolss16 errors worry me most. When I use bootdisk.img and
drvnet.img to boot my machine, I get the following error:
failed to read keymap information; illegal byte sequence
Alt-F3 shows the following:
going to set language to en_US.UTF-8
setting language to en_US.UTF-8
requested keymap us is not valid, asking
1 keymaps are available
My ks.cfg contains the following:
lang en_US
langsupport --default en_US en_US
keyboard "us"
The above values work for RH 6.2, 7.1, 7.3. What is causing my failure
on RH 9. I am going off the read the RH9 customization manual right
after sending this message.
Thanks.
