Hello,
As an experiment, I am trying to install the core system in a separate
directory, call it /newroot. I first create a new rpm database and
then run the rpm against that database with --root specified as
/newroot. As my package list I pass all the rpms specified in the
group-id "core" of the comp.xml. However, this install fails with
failed dependencies. Some packages that are part of the core system
need packages that are not included in that core. My question is: is
the set of packages in the core system not "self contained"? And what
would be the correct way to install an absolute core system?
I'm wondering too why the 'core' group has unresolved dependencies - I
would have thought that this group was as you say 'self-contained'.
Adding the dependencies returned by getfullcomps.py soon adds up to a
not-as-compact 'core' installation.
How does Anaconda install the absolute minimum set? Which file in the
source does it?
Not 100% sure - but I think installclass.py should give you some idea of
how packages are grouped for installation ...
