Perhaps, but it is not clear if the original guy will be
happy:-( Especially if he does not agree with the patching....
Can someone please tell me how to put in local rpms into a kickstart
file (to make a LiveCD)?
Create a local repo and put a file into /etc/yum.repos.d pointing to
your repo.
Thanks, how does one create a local repo? What is special about it?
(Putting the file part, I can understand). But what makes for a local
repo?
It's as easy as installing and running 'createrepo' on a directory with you
package(s) there. I keep a local repo of all the packages I ever install or
update which are not on the original install DVD. This avoids downloading stuff
over and over to each machine. If change yum.conf to keep the packages, install
them in a shared directory, and then run createrepo when something changes.
Add your package name to the kickstart file (or if it is fvwm
it will override the Fedora package). When you generate the ISO file it
will read your local repo.

How does it know the F package should be overridden? Because of the
version number? If not, should I call the rpm/program something else?
Such as fvwm-patched?
Many thanks again!
