thank you for you r help. But: I don't think splitdistro is working correctly. The path to SRPM is /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64/SRPM and splitdistro emits the ia64 directory in the path, or appends it twice. [root@cannon anaconda-runtime]# ./splitdistro /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64 src error: /home/mrcannon/dnload/SRPMS is not a directory [root@cannon anaconda-runtime]# ./splitdistro /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64 ia64 dist error: /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64/ia64 is not a directory -- Mike Cannon Infrastructure/SANs System Administrator IT Computing Services Purdue University 1061 Freehafer Hall (FREH) 401 S.

Yes, if you are running splitdistro, you need to run genhdlist et al. Try this: cd /home/mrcannon/dnload export ANA="/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime" $ANA/genhdlist --withnumbers /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64 PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda $ANA/pkgorder ia64/ ia64 > pkgfile $ANA/buildinstall --pkgorder pkgfile --version7.2 ia64/ $ANA/splitdistro --fileorder pkgfile /home/mrcannon/dnload ia64 $ANA/genhdlist --withnumbers /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64-disc1 \ /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64-disc2 Forrest > > -- > Mike Cannon > Infrastructure/SANs System Administrator > IT Computing Services > Purdue University _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
