There is soo much potential for customization once you get into those files, thanks for the information! It would have been a lot easier to just do an rpm -e during the post install, but it just bugged me that the installation needed to run the extra commands. RH should check for the existence of those commands before it runs them. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: Brad Doctor [mailto:bdoctor@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 4:54 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: /usr/sbin/mouseconfig --no such file The files RedHat/base/*.img are cramfs files. If you do 'file <filename>' it will report a type of 'data' on most systems. However, if you try to mount it with a kernel that supports cramfs filesystems (grep cram /proc/filesystems) you will be fine. But then the thing is read only. So what I do is mount it up, tar it to another directory, make my changes, and then make the cramfs image again ala: mkcramfs <directory I just copied and made changes in> <new cramfs file image> Very easy to make changes. I have tried to get my changes passed all the way through the buildinstall crap that RH passes off as the way to do this and have failed every time. However, this method works perfectly. Command summary: mount -o loop stage2.img /mnt mkdir ~/cramfs cd /mnt tar cvf - . | (cd ~/cramfs ; tar xfBp -) cd ~/cramfs make your changes cd ~ mkcramfs ./cramfs ./newcramfs.img umount /mnt good luck! -brad
