Install Issue with Remastered FC5 disc-1.

["Krishnan N" <linuxnewbie82@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm in the process of figuring out " how to remaster FC5 "......
To start with, my task was to Remaster just CD1 of FC5... So, i have stripped the number of RPM's available, on CD1 & remade an image of CD1....

My new CD1 successfully boots & goes thru the installation process...but at the end of it, instead of being prompted to insert disc-2 , i get a message saying " install complete... remove disk & reboot "....

My new CD1 boot well in the command line mode......

But, i'm now trying to figure out, wat is it that tells the anaconda installer to look for disc-2 after disc-1 is installed????

I have attached the script i'm using for ur perusal & comments..

regards

linuxnewbie.
