First thank you for the feedback, and sorry for the footer at the bottom, it gets added by our mail server and it is require by Legal. IN my situation, where I am combining selected RPM from all 4 CD into 1, thus overall, deleting the overall RPMS, do I need to rebuild my pkgorder? 2nd, where is the original pkgorder located at? Dwc p.s. I guess I don't need buildinstall, since I am not modifying anaconda looks and feel -----Original Message----- From: anaconda-devel-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:anaconda-devel-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Pianta Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 4:50 PM To: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: FW: Missing RPM Chan, Dominic wrote: >Can you tell me what exactly does pkgorder and buildinstall do?

You can modify this file if you wish and rearrange the order of package installation. Then you pass your modified file to the genhdlist command and your changes will take effect next time you run your install. buildinstall is a tricky one. You need it if you have modified anaconda source. It rebuilds all of the .img files in the /base directory and applies your custom changes to anaconda. You don't need to run buildinstall if you haven't modified the anaconda source (or if you are using the RHupdates option to make any customizations to anaconda). I'm certainly no expert but I hope that clears some stuff up for ya!
