So, who wants to try out some experimental installer images? I'm planning to build some F16Alpha images (and maybe respin F15 images) using the treebuilder branch of lorax. This branch builds installer images that are split into 2 parts (initrd.img and install.img), like F14 and earlier. It also uses dracut for the initrd.img, so we no longer have to maintain the old custom 'loader' initrd.img (which was the real goal of the change in F15). Memory requirements should be greatly reduced from the standard F15 images (and somewhat lower than F14) - but we'll need to make new anaconda builds to prove that, since the memory check prevents us from running on systems with <768MB RAM. There's a lot of other changes too, which is why I want some help with testing. So: 1) If I can get images built locally, how should I build them for test consumption? (build in chroot/mock? what's the standard kickstart / pungi invocation? is there a standard build machine for test images?) 2) If I can get them build, where do I put the images where people can find them? -w _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
