I seem to pick up stale repo information when I don't do this and livemedia-creator fails. This doesn't seem completely rational, but cleaning up helps give me reproduceable results. I'm doing: > sudo rm -rf /tmp/yum.cache /tmp/yum.repos.d /tmp/yum.root /tmp/anaconda-yum.conf > sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/yum.* This is fixed in lorax-19.6.30-1, for centos you should be using the rhel7-branch instead of master. > > Another issue was that I was using an HTTP server for my mirror that yum did not like: Python's SimpleHTTPServer. After switching to Nginx, this started working again. I don't know why this is necessary, but I'll grab more wireshark captures tomorrow to compare. I have a feeling that the issue *might* be HTTP 1.1 vs 1.0, or maybe MIME types? Anyway I'll work that out soon. yum uses partial file requests so you need a full-featured server like lighttpd or nginx. > > Next I will revisit my "updates" repo, which I see now needs to be named almost anything except updates. You shouldn't name a repo updates unless you just want to enable the default updates repo (which will be wrong for your use case), it conflicts with the internal name, use something like updates-foo https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#repo > > I'm still very curious if anyone has examples of using the --make-disk option. --make-disk is actually the default code path, that's why you don't see any opts.make_disk references. It should work just like --make-iso The kickstart restriction is that /boot and / need to be the same partition so that it can find the kernel and initrd after the installation is complete. -- Brian C.
