Hi all
This may sound funny, but I can't get onto any websites right now,
so I can't even google. I want to customize the contents of my
CentOS 5.1 x64 CD, and re-create the ISO to write to CD again and
install on a server. I know it's got something todo with mkisofs,
but I'm not 100% sure what the commands should look like
Can someone please give me a sample of the whole command needed for
such an operation?
Depending on what you want to change, it is more involved than that.
Are you trying to customize packages or something else?

I actually remove some of the scripts, and use a custom kickstart
file, but here it is:

That won't work .... :D
If you remove packages (or add, upgrade any packages) then you must
rerun the installler (buildinstall).
You must also regenerate the repodata in the root of the CD/DVD.
Thanks,

It's working...... I'm literally only deleting the RPM's I don't want,
rebuilding the ISO, and using it on bare bone servers. cPanel for
instance needs a bare bone server with nothing installed, so there's no
point to have a full DVD, or even CD if I don't need it. Using a
kickstart file, I've been able to install very specific stuff like mrtg,
mutt, lynx, sshd, etc (which are scattered on different CD's), so I
download only the RPM's I wanted, put them in the kickstart file,
re-created the ISO with the command above, and it's working. I'm
currently working on a way to setup different software RAID levels,
according to the number & type of HDD's in the system
