All, I need a little assistance/explanation/direction here. I am a contractor working on a project that needs to install Fedora, SELinux, and then a Custom built application. I have the procedure pretty well laid out using the fedora CDs, the SELinux source and RPMS and source for the custom apps. Currently the instructions are on a web page. What I really need to do is create a couple of categories under the Fedora install that will let me select and install the RPMs while/after I install Fedora. I have been using this web page (Bob's Anaconda HOWTO - Release Setup) http://www.sd.no-ip.biz/code/aurora/setup.html to introduce me to modification of the Redhat install and it has gotten me to the point that I can create a Unified Build Tree and a Set of ISOs that I can use for the new project. I have been able to complete this up to the point where I have added a custom section called "SELinux" to the Group Hierarchy. After that I am stuck. I don't understand what to do at this point to create new/modified packages and ensure that I can include them as part of the comps.xml file. I have been to the page: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/anaconda-installer/comps.html and read the instructions, but they have not really answered my questions. Here is an example of what I am trying to do <group> <id>selinux</id> <uservisible>true</uservisible> <default>true</default> <name>SELinux Installation</name> <description>Install this group of packages to configure the system for SELinux installation.</description> <grouplist> </grouplist> <packagelist> <packagereq type="mandatory">autoconf213</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">elfutils-devel</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">libcroco-devel</packagereq> </packagelist> </group> <group> <id>hf-development</id> <uservisible>true</uservisible> <default>true</default> <name>HF Development Environment</name> <description>Install this group of packages to configure the system for HF Development.</description> <grouplist> </grouplist> <packagelist> <packagereq type="mandatory">libfwbuilder-1.0.2-2.fdr1</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">fwbuilder-1.1.2-1.fdr1</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">fwbuilder-ipt-1.1.2-1.fdr1</packagereq> </packagelist> </group> <category> <name>SELinux</name> <subcategories> <subcategory>selinux</subcategory> <subcategory>hf</subcategory> </subcategories> </category> <category> <name>HF</name> <subcategories> <subcategory>hf-development</subcategory> </subcategories> </category> Two groups and two categories. The other thing I am not sure of is how the packagereq's get their titles. Here are the actual packages I want to install. The first set is on Disc-3 of the fedora set, just not installed. and the next group is a set of RPMs that have brought in from outside. libcroco-devel-0.3.0-1.i386.rpm elfutils-devel-0.89-2.i386.rpm autoconf213-2.13-6.noarch.rpm libfwbuilder-1.0.2-2.fdr1.i386.rpm fwbuilder-1.1.2-1.fdr1.i386.rpm fwbuilder-ipf-1.1.2-1.fdr1.i386.rpm fwbuilder-ipfw-1.1.2-1.fdr1.i386.rpm fwbuilder-ipt-1.1.2-1.fdr1.i386.rpm fwbuilder-pf-1.1.2-1.fdr1.i386.rpm And a last thing... what actually determines the order of the installs? For the above, I want to install it last but the libfwbuilder has to come before the fwbuilder. Thanks for any and all help. Any clarification needed, I am working most of the day Sat, Sun & Monday. I would really like to be past this hump by Tuesday. -- Nick (Nix) Gray Senior Systems Engineer Bruzenak Inc. (512) 331-7998
