Hello Anaconda List: My post was not finished; really sorry about it , here is the full one: I want your advice. I need to write an installer for Linux and I wonder if you can give me some advice. These are the requirements from this installer: It should install from CD/DVD (**not** from FTP,NET,USB or anything else) What I want to install is a Linux which was made from LinuxFromScratch. I had made such LinuxFromScratch partition according to the LFS book and I do succesfully boot it on my machine. (the size of the LFS partition is about 4GB). This installer is for a dedicated HW : there is one platform configuration on which it should install. This installation CD is for sys admins, for known purposes, not for home desktop users ) (my machine and the target machines have exactly the same HW) I don't want to have any GUI for this installatiion for this install, if possible. The installer should take in account that the whole content of the HD will be erased for this install. There will be a default Static IP and a default hostname, and the admin will be responsible for setting them after install. I assume that I should use eltorito to boot from a CD; I assume that I should create a RamDisk and use it for the install scripts,fdisk, etc. I had tried to look at Anaconda but it is quite complex. Should I try to learn how Anaconda is built and then try to write something based on it ? Or is there something which is maybe simpler ? Regards, Ian
