What I was thinking of would be something like: yum buildroot /path/to/dir/for/buildroot [group]install foo bar baz What I was thinking was yum would use the normal repos in the /etc/yum.conf but init and open the rpm db in /path/to/dir/for/buildroot for the local rpmnevral. Then if you did a groupinstall Core Base it would install a nice system. And, of course, I could specify turning off scripts to the rpm transaction (that's easy) Maybe I'll see if I can do just what this script does in python for later integration (or outergration :) with yum Gist of the steps: verify dir is good/ready/not already used initdb in dir open transaction - turn off scripts? install core stuff first, script free exit That about right? What are the clean ups you were talking about? -sv
