Thanks for the reply... I think that is a little different problem. What I am trying to do is create a fully exploded tree. Is there anything special that needs to be done to hdlist to do this? I have create the tree by just copying each CD into the same RedHat directory. The problem is my install fails about a 3rd of the way into installing packages.

I think I've answered most of this just now, in anothe reply. Lay it out like this: /var/ftp/pub/linux/RedHat /var/ftp/pub/linux/MyDist Create MyDist using cp -l, and be sure to remove files you want to change because, with hard links, it's change one, change all. There is no harm, other than excessive disk-space usage, in having extraneous packages in the tree, and that's minimised by using hard links. -- Please, reply only to the list. _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
