Hello All, I am trying to shrink the Fedora Core 2 distribution down to a single CD. I have sucessfully brought the size down to about 500 MB, with 531 RPMs. custom made comps.xml, dependancy check, genhdlist (with pkgorder), and buildinstall went thru perfectly. but when i installed the newly created distribution, the kernel did not get installed. install.log shows : %pre(kernel-2.65.5-1.358) scriptlet failed. exit ststus 255 A bit of googling led me to believe that this could be a dependancy issue. I soon realized that the kernel(i586) rpm was the first package which was being installed... and i believe that a lot other rpms need to be installed well before the kernel rpm (like basesystem, filesystem, glibc etc) Now the problem is -- when i run genhdlist (with pkgorder) or even when i run just pkgorder, the result is always given with the kernel rpms (i586, i686, smp, utils) coming right on top, before any other rpms. why is this happening ? please help !! TIA. regards, Satsco. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
