Just as an aside, when I tried to build my own customized distribution, I gave up on following what scant documentation was available (mainly on the wiki) and just read the source for documentation. I highly recommend it if you can read python.
The failure point seems to be familiar, and I'm pretty sure that it's a CentOS patch to anaconda that's causing the problem. Thanks for reminding me to submit this to the CentOS guys.
In anaconda-centos-splittree_allow_missing_RPMSdir.patch there is a patch that changes this line:
- p = os.popen('find %s/ -type f -not -name .discinfo' % self.dist_dir, 'r')
to this line
+ p = os.popen('find %s/ -type f -not -name .discinfo -not -name *.rpm' % self.dist_dir, 'r')
which breaks on my machine. I honestly have no idea how CentOS builds with this patch, unless they're using a weird version of find.I changed the line to this:
+ p = os.popen('find %s/ -type f -not -name .discinfo -not -name \'*.rpm\'' % self.dist_dir, 'r')
And that got things working again
HTH. Let me know if this works. Are there any CentOS developers on this list who can tell me how to submit a patch?

Hello All
Following the instructions mentioned at the following address:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Customization
I am trying to build a custom distribution based on CentOs 5.01.
I have performed the following steps:
$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
$ mkdir ~/mydistro
$ cp -avp /mnt/* ~/mydistro
$ mv ~/mydistro/CentOS ~/mydistro/mydistro
$ cp /mnt/.discinfo ~/mydistro
$ createrepo -g ~/mydistro/repodata/comps.xml ~/mydistro/mydistro
$ mkdir -p ~/mydistro/mydistro/base
$ cp -avp ~/mydistro/repodata/* ~/mydistro/mydistro/base
$ buildinstall --version 2 --product "MyDistro" --release "MyDistro Linux" --prodpath mydistro ~/mydistro
$ rm -Rf ~/mydistro/.olddata
$ pkgorder ~/mydistro i386 mydistro | tee ~/mydistro/pkgfile
In the last step, i get the following error:
kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.el5.i686.rpm
kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-53.el5.i686.rpm

Any ideas? Why does it try to check the yum mirrors? Is there anyway to perform the operation locally?
Thanks in advance.
