All, Much later in the day and I have made quite a bit of progress. I thought I would share my procedure and errors with the list in hopes of figuring out what blunders I have made. I am able to start an install (currently running) and my menu items show up. > I have been using this web page (Bob's Anaconda HOWTO - Release Setup) > > http://www.sd.no-ip.biz/code/aurora/setup.html This page seems to be off line > t </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> I realized thath the titles I had here were probably wrong so I did rpm -qi -p package and used the name it gave me (i.e. fwbuilder) here is what I have so far in what I call the "cut and paste script" format. I leave the file open and cut and paste the instructions. If they don't work I modify them. #--# #!/bin/bash export DISTBASE=/data/selinux export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/anaconda:/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime:/usr/share/comps-extras export DISTDIR=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom export BASEDIR=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1 export ROOTDIR=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora export HDFILE=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/base/hdlist export COMPS=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/base/comps.xml export PKGORDER=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/base/pkgorder.txt export SOURCE=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/SRPMS export PRODUCT=Fedora export PRODUCT_PATH=Fedora export VERSION=/data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-1-3.i386.rpm export VERSION2=dist-fedora export RELEASE=Fedora export RELEASE_STRING="Horizontal Fusion Development 1.0" #CD into the build root cd /data/selinux # Build the Standard tree scripts/buildReleaseTree Fedora Core1 6 # Now copy the ISO files into the iso directory # If you are coming in at this point remove everything under the custom dir but not the dir itself. # Build Custom tree named SELinux scripts/buildCustomTree Fedora Core1 SELinux #Modify the comps.xml to include the three files needed for installation of SELinux #vi /data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/base/comps.xml #cp /comps.xml /data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/base/comps.xml #removed the old hdlist rm /data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/base/hdlist* # Generate the base list. genhdlist --hdlist $HDFILE --productpath $PRODUCT_PATH $BASEDIR # determine the load order for rpms pkgorder $BASEDIR i386 $PRODUCT_PATH > $PKGORDER cd /data/selinux/comps /usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py comps.xml /data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux Core1 > pkgs.xml add pkgs.xml to the end of comps.xml replace the old comps.xml with a new one #removed the old hdlist rm /data/selinux/Fedora/Core1/custom/SELinux/Core1/Fedora/base/hdlist* # Generate the base list. genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder $PKGORDER --hdlist $HDFILE --productpath $PRODUCT_PATH $BASEDIR # create an install build buildinstall --pkgorder $PKGORDER --comp $VERSION2 --version $VERSION --prodpath $PRODUCT_PATH --release $RELEASE --product $PRODUCT $BASEDIR # At this point I can do a NFS install to test the installation #split the build among the disks splittree.py --arch=i386 --total-discs=6 --bin-discs=3 --src-discs=3 --release-string="$RELEASE_STRING" --pkgorderfile=$PKGORDER --distdir=$BASEDIR --srcdir=$SOURCE --productpath=$PRODUCT_PATH $BASEDIR #----# I seem to keep getting an error on genhdlist because it doesn't have any information on the order of the fwbuilder stuff.

Next question: Does the CD based install still use a kickstart file? I want to run postinstall commands when doing this install. Thanks -- Nick (Nix) Gray Senior Systems Engineer Bruzenak Inc.
