For RH8 (and RH9 I'm informed), after updating the rpms in the tree it is sufficient to run: genhdlist --hdlist RedHat/base/hdlist.new "$PWD" mv RedHat/base/hdlist.new RedHat/base/hdlist mv RedHat/base/hdlist.new2 RedHat/base/hdlist2 PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda pkgorder . i386 > RedHat/base/orderlist genhdlist --fileorder RedHat/base/orderlist --hdlist RedHat/base/hdlist.new "$PWD" mv RedHat/base/hdlist.new RedHat/base/hdlist mv RedHat/base/hdlist.new2 RedHat/base/hdlist2 that is enough if you are using a network install. Of course to make ISOs you have to do a little more. I'm sure that there should be a clever way to generate the hdlist and orderlist at the same time, but genhdlist wants an orderlist and pkgorder needs the hdlist files. without the orderlist, 2nd pass at genhdlist the install will still work, but anaconda will complain that it doesn't know the package order. This is probably more important for generating ISOs where the order is used to split them between CDs... A google search suggests the following links may be useful to people wanting to roll their own update ISOs (etc): http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/RedHat-CD-HOWTO/include-updates.html http://www.techonthenet.com/linux/rh9_update.htm the former being far more complete (having info from before RH6.1 through to RH9). Perhaps this should be pointed to from a legacy FAQ somewhere to save people from having to ask... I assume that FC1 and maybe FC2 would work in much the same way. -- Jon -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
