Hi all,
I'm trying to build a bootable cdrom which can be used to install
different Fedora's distributions. Our hardware configurations are based
on ppc platforms.
I did not see any specific documentation about this.
So I tried to build this bootstap cdrom copying on the cdrom:
- my first stage bootable image (with the loader part of anaconda)
- a .discinfo file
- the Fedora/base subdirectory (with the stage2.img)
All this was generated using buildinstall (and one of the Fedora
distributions I would like to install).
The first steps of anaconda process seem ok (load of the stage2.img,...)
untill the preparation of the packages ("Reading package information")
which fails with a "An error occurred unmounting the CD" message.
At this step, (or before that) I would like that anaconda asks the user
to change the "bootstrap" cdrom and to use the first cdrom of the Fedora
distributions.
Any idea or pointers will be helpfull.
I think I don't understand. You are talking about installing by
inserting an extra CD? Isn't it easier to choose which to install by
inserting FC4 CD1, FC3 CD1, WBEL CD1 etc?
If you wanted to boot from CD and then choose which to install off the
LAN (or USB drive or ..._, I can see that would be useful and I have
some thoughts on the LAN.
Even booting a DVD and choosing & installing off that doesn't seen
incredibly useful unless you have reduced-size distros.
