How in the Sam Hill to you edit xml files on CentOS? We are supposed to edit the comps xml, where I hear the @groups and their rpms are, but I can't read the comps.xml. I've seen some directions to update the comps.xml, but I want to edit my kickstart file and get it right. Where are the lists of rpms (like in a @group) that correspond to the rpm's in the @group? If they are in an xml file, I'm still lost. I also think that somewhere there is a list of Red Hat rpms that correspond to CentOS rpms. That would be great too. How in the Sam Hill do you write to a CD on CentOS? I've looked at http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/basic/cdrecord.shtml, but I still can't write to a CD. I've done all the things advised. I can burn DVDs all day, but not a CD. I've been working on these questions for over a week, Google and all. I am trying to made a customized install using kickstart. I'm kind of tired of trying, trying, and trying and getting no where. Sorry for the attitude, I'm just a little frustrated. While I'm at it, is there a way to completely automate the installation, so you don't have to type in "linux ks=cdrom:somenameks.cfg" I did it once before. I wrote the command to the hard drive, used it, then deleted it. My development HD got destroyed. I had no way to back it up. I don't work on a network. I have to spend hard earned real dollars to get a USB, or better yet a firewire HD for backups. Haven't been able to do that yet. Any guidance, places to go, etc, will be greatly greatly appreciated!!!!! Thanks so much! ;) The comments & Opinions expressed are my own & do not represent the views of United Space Alliance
