Does F7's pungi build a good F7 distro installer? What did RH/Fedora use to build F1~F6? The RH/Fedora team has been building installer CDs for a long time... I am sure you guys have some well-worn tools for that :-) maybe I should be using something old and time-tested? I don't mind it being written in ksh... In any case, I am most interested in understanding whether it is designed to do what I am trying to do. If I fix/workaround its limitations, is it the right tool to build installer CDs that... ? - fit on CD-sized media (but then, I only have a small set of packages) - have a text installer that ideally works well on low-end hw, and supports serial console for headless machines - have good support for off-the-beaten path arches - can be used for installs and upgrades - the kickstart environment - during install! - is close to the env you get when customising a RH build - are resilient and produces consistent builds Are there other good alternatives I should be considering? So far I have been working with livecd-tools, which is designed to do something else. I want to switch to the right tool. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
