Subject: Re: [PATCH] Change the ISOs we build
Previously we guessed that the anaconda folks hadn't done any testing with usb installs using diskboot images. I guess the fact that they are removing diskboot.img in Fedora 9 confirms it.Let me know how many of your dev/test machines need cd/dvd/rw drives. I believe there are some extras in the storage closet, but we may need more.In our documentation, we will focus on using boot.iso/netinst.iso as the method to test newly minted distros.Kay-----Original Message-----

Stop building boot.iso (and diskboot.img) in preference for building a netinst.iso with the boot bits as well as the second stage. This will replace the rescue image and is overall far more useful --- scripts/buildinstall | 4 ++++ scripts/mk-images | 5 +++++ scripts/mk-images.ia64 | 13 ++++++------- scripts/mk-images.ppc | 10 +++++++--- scripts/mk-images.x86 | 26 +++++++++----------------- 5 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/buildinstall b/scripts/buildinstall index 5866ae2..6e222d0 100755 --- a/scripts/buildinstall +++ b/scripts/buildinstall @@ -100,6 +100,10 @@ if [ -z "$OUTPUT" ]; then usage fi +if [ ! -d "$OUTPUT" ]; then + mkdir -p $OUTPUT +fi + yumconf=$(mktemp /tmp/yum.conf.XXXXXX) cat > $yumconf <$TOPDESTPATH/images/pxeboot/README < /dev/null - cp -r $TOPDESTPATH/isolinux/* $TOPDESTPATH/images/fobpath/ - grep -v local $TOPDESTPATH/images/fobpath/isolinux.cfg > $TOPDESTPATH/images/fobpath/syslinux.cfg - rm -f $TOPDESTPATH/images/fobpath/isolinux.cfg - /usr/bin/makebootfat -o $TOPDESTPATH/images/diskboot.img -Y -b /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.bss -m /usr/share/makebootfat/x86/mbrfat.bin -F -Z -c /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.sys $TOPDESTPATH/images/fobpath/ - rm -rf $TOPDESTPATH/images/fobpath - cat > $TOPDESTPATH/images/pxeboot/README <<
