Hi,
dvd isn't an option at the moment and won't happen at all for the
existing 70+ kiosks I have at present.
My main problem is I follow the process to produce the distro,
but I can't get the tools show me the rpms I don't need. I don't
know whether my comps.xml is the problem or its just a problem
with the getnotincomps.py. The getnotincomps.py seems to be failing
because it can't find dependancies for each package in I mention
in the comps.xml. Why this is the case I don't know as getfullcomps.py
seems to be working fine along with the other stages up to running
getnotincomps.py.
Does anyone have more detailed instructions for producing a single
disk install with anaconda?
Thanks,
om

doing.
When my main customer installs the kiosks, they don't connect to a
network
usually (despite what my documentation says). They usually just
connect them
to the adsl router they'll get deployed with, but its not connected
out. When
they put the machines out on site they just want to plug-in-and-go.
They are
also not very technical. Even though my install does 99% of the work
for them,
the still manage to get it wrong. I thought about this solution, but
went
against it as it would cause me a lot of head aches and support calls.
How about
1. A tool such as systemimager?
2. A DVD?
3. A DVD configured to boot as an install server?
4. dd if=kiosk.img of=/dev/hda
There's a barebones CD around that might serve as a basis for 3. and
4..
