There are no > ISOs (or any way for a normal user to make such) 90% of what's needed to create a CD with a set of packages from Extras that can be installed with system-cdinstaller[1] is actually there. So, what's needed is (essentially) -- * A comps file. This could be generated by pulling the Extras comps file and then trimming it in an automated fashion. It might even be fine to just use the whole file and then things which aren't there automatically "drop out". Needs someone to test * Run repotrack (from yum-utils) to pull the set of packages and their deps * Run createrepo appropriately * Drop an autorun into place * Run mkisofs And then voila -- you have your CD of packages for Extras. Anyone want to write the script? :) Jeremy [1] This is the app that runs if you do the autorun off of a CD. It does installs from a single repo and falls back to depsolving with the base repos if it has to. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
