I'm kind of confused about when I need to run buildinstall.
I have a unified install tree with a correct comps.xml. Nfs installs
work fine. Now I want to split it into individual CDs so I can do
standalone installations.
For redhat 9 I did:
pkgorder /a/shrike/cdrom i386 > pkgorder.txt
splitdistro --fileorder pkgorder.txt
genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder pkgorder.txt \
/a/shrike/i386-disc?
This works fine.
For fedora things seem to be a little different:
pkgorder /a/yarrow/cdrom i386 > /a/yarrow/cdrom/pkgorder.txt
rm -rf /a/yarrow/cdrom-disc?
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py \
--pkgorderfile=/a/yarrow/cdrom/pkgorder.txt --arch=i386
--productpath=Fedora --src-discs=3 \
--total-discs=3 --bin-discs=3 --release-string="Red Hat Linux" \
--distdir=/a/yarrow/cdrom/i386 --srcdir=/a/yarrow/cdrom/SRPMS/
genhdlist --productpath Fedora --withnumbers \
--fileorder /a/yarrow/cdrom/pkgorder.txt /a/yarrow/cdrom-disc?
Again this seems to work. So do I need to run buildinstall at all, and
if so, when?
