Yep, you'll have to keep fiddling with the contents of RedHat/RPMS/ and what you have in the comps file until you have all the dependencies satisfied. BTW, what is this "dependency-check.py" that you mention? I'm aware of the following tools: - genhdlist is good in that when it fails it gives some useful error messages (it used to simply segfault and dump core:) - /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/check-repository.py (remove "import todo") - Seth Vidal has some useful things here: http://www.dulug.duke.edu/treetools/ add-rpm.py checkupdates.py comps-check.pl depchecktree.py Did you check out the RULE project? One of their aims is to produce trimmed redhat installers that can be used on old low-end boxes. You might find it useful for your needs... http://www.rule-project.org/ Cheers Tony
