ok, anaconda-runtime rpm in place (grin). Now I'm getting a whole list of errors on the buildinstall step... maybe a bit of clarification on what we a re doing at this point. We're trying to build a single CD customized distro... (1) Copied CD #1 to working dir (2) removed unecessary rpms (3) added a few rpms from cd's 2-4 (4) added a few of our own rpms (5) following procedure at: http://bipolar.longbros.com/index.php?blog=5&p=29&c=1&page=1&more=1&tb=1&pb=1&disp=single One this we noticed is that there is no reference to fixing comps files... Is that necessary in our case? Here are the latest buildinstall errors (below). Thanks again.
