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

Where is the RedHat/RPMS directory? Is it in
/home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64, or /home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64/ia64? If the
former, you need a SRPMS directory in /home/mrcannon/dnload, like I said
before:
mkdir /home/mrcannon/dnload/SRPMS

I currently do not have an LS120 disk on a machine running Linux. I am
trying to create a bootable cdrom of the RedHat ia64 distro.
My first problem is this:
[root@cannon anaconda-runtime]# ./splitdistro /home/mrcannon/dnload/
ia64
src error: /home/mrcannon/dnload/SRPMS is not a directory
You must create the SRPMS directory even though you may have nothing in it.
mkdir /home/mrcannon/dnload/SRPMS
The exact path to my distro is:
/home/mrcannon/dnload/ia64
But splitdistro will not except that.
I am not placing any of the updated RPMs into this distribution, so will
I need any commands besides, splitdistro?
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
