I comment-out all the @Languages to save about 1GB of space on the platter and many minutes of time, and I adjust the repo(s) according to the state of the release (rawhide, branched, beta, final); see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755678 So at the moment I would use the repos fedora-16 and fedora-16-updates as described in your /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo. The .ks file would have: repo --name=fedora-16 --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude syslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclude generic* --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks* --exclude GConf2-dbus* --exclude bluez-gnome repo --name=fedora-16-updates --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch --exclude kernel*debug* --exclude kernel-kdump* --exclude syslog-ng --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-devel --exclude astronomy-bookmarks --exclude generic* --exclude java-1.5.0-gcj-javadoc --exclude btanks* --exclude GConf2-dbus* --exclude bluez-gnome Then I invoke pungi via: DESTIDR=/path/to/existing/destination/directory VERSION=16 export ARCH=x86_64 rm -rf $DESTDIR/work/$ARCH rm -rf $DESTDIR/$VERSION/$ARCH export LC_ALL=C sudo setenforce 0 pungi -c fedora-install-fedora.ks --destdir=$DESTDIR --name Fedora --ver $VERSION --nosource Remember to build and install the treebuilder code from lorax before running pungi.
