Hi !
I'm trying to build a customized version of FC6.
As per following documents:
http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/ublinux/HOWTO-selectpkg.html
http://wiki.babel.com.au/index.php?area=Linux_Projects&page=isolinux
the steps for building it are:
0) Copy the DVD on /home/ublinux/i386
1) Select the rpm packages that you want in your distribution
and place them in //home/ublinux/RPMS
/2) Check dependencies
mkdir /tmp/testdb
rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/testdb
rpm --test --dbpath /tmp/testdb -Uvh /home/ublinux/RPMS/*.rpm
3) Remove hdlist*
rm /home/ublinux/i386/RedHat/base/hdlist*
4) Remove old RPMS
rm /home/ublinux/i386/RedHat/RPMS/*
5) Remove TRANS.TBL
find /home/ublinux/i386 -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm -f {} \;
6) Move stage2.img anaconda image
mv /home/ublinux/i386/RedHat/base/stage2.img /home/ublinux/
7) Move bootdisk.img bootdisk image file
mv /home/ublinux/i386/images/bootdisk.img /home/ublinux/
8) Copy selected rpms in distribution directory
cp /home/ublinux/RPMS/* /home/ublinux/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
9) Regenerate hdlist
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist /home/ublinux/i386
10) Determine package order
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder /home/ublinux/i386/ i386 >
/home/ublinux/pkglist
11) Generate our own anaconda
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall
12) Split distro intro CDs
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py --arch=i386 --total-discs=3
--bin-discs=3 --release-string="UBLinux 3"
--pkgorderfile=/home/ublinux/pkglist --distdir=/home/ublinux/i386
--src-discs=1 --srcdir=/home/ublinux/i386/SRPMS
mv /home/ublinux/i386/-disc1 /home/ublinux/i386/disc1
mv /home/ublinux/i386/-disc2 /home/ublinux/i386/disc2
mv /home/ublinux/i386/-disc3 /home/ublinux/i386/disc3
13) Regenerate hdlists with numbers
rm -f /home/ublinux/i386/disc1/RedHat/base/hdlist*
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder
/home/ublinux/pkglist /home/ublinux/i386/disc[123]
14) Mount bootdisk.img
15) Edit syslinux.cfg
16) Edit spalsh screen
lss16toppm < splash.lss > splash.ppm
giftopnm < splash.gif > splash.ppm
ppmtolss16 < splash.ppm > splash.lss
17) Regenerate the bootdisk.img
18) Mount stage2.img
19) Edit usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps
20) Edit usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps/rnotes
21) Edit usr/share/anaconda/help/[locale]
22) Regenerate stage2.img
23) Create a kickstart file
24) Add kickstart to boot file
25) Make ISO
cd /home/ublinux/i386
mkisofs -r -T -J -V "UBLinux 3.0 Disk 1 of 3" -b images/bootdisk.img -c
isolinux/boot.cat -o /home/ublinux/i386/UBLinux3-Disk1.iso
/home/ublinux/i386/disc1
mkisofs -r -T -J -V "UBLinux 3.0 Disk 2 of 3" -o
/home/ublinux/i386/UBLinux3-Disk2.iso /home/ublinux/i386/disc2
mkisofs -r -T -J -V "UBLinux 3.0 Disk 3 of 3" -o
/home/ublinux/i386/UBLinux3-Disk3.iso /home/ublinux/i386/disc3
26) Implant MD5
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantmd5sum UBLinux3-Disk1.iso
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantmd5sum UBLinux3-Disk2.iso
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantmd5sum UBLinux3-Disk3.iso
27) CD Record
cdrecord -v speed=32 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -data UBLinux-Disk1.iso
The questions that I have are the following:
1) What's the role of hdlist, and what's genhdlist replacement in FC6 ?
2) What's the role of TRANS.TBL and how it is generated ?
3) If I want to rename the Fedora folder from DVD how can I do that ?
Thanks,
Alin Ilie
