Hi, i'm able to get the install of the stateless pkgs to work by intalling them from the online repository like so #Package install information %packages --resolvedeps %post --interpreter=/bin/bash echo "[StatelessLinux]" >> /etc/yum.conf echo "name=Stateless Linux" >> /etc/yum.conf echo "baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/stateless"; >> /etc/yum.conf echo "gpgcheck=0" >> /etc/yum.conf rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/* yum -y install stateless-client echo "LDAP_SERVER=myldapserver" > /etc/sysconfig/stateless echo "LDAP_BASE_DN=dc=cms, dc=porchlight, dc=ca" >> /etc/sysconfig/stateless echo "LDAP_ADMIN_DN=cn=Manager, dc=cms, dc=porchlight, dc=ca" >> /etc/sysconfig/stateless echo "LDAP_ADMIN_PASSWD=myldappasswd" >> /etc/sysconfig/stateless cd /usr/share/stateless python stateless-boostrap.py -r /reserve-root -b /reserve-boot but the system reboots and the sync of the snapshot does not work when i try to run python stateless-boostrap.py -r /reserve-root -b /reserve-boot from cli i get [root@store-lan1-100 stateless]# python bootstrap.py -r /reserve-root -b /reserve-boot Traceback (most recent call last): File "bootstrap.py", line 31, in ? import gtk File "/usr/src/build/463937-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 37, in ?
