I am using the anaconda version that come with redhat 9.0 I do have a new question which related to this. I am building a new iso image for rhel 3.0 Update 1. Does the OS/image/anaconda version on the workstation that I am building the iso with have to also be running RHEL 3.0, or it does not matter? I basically copy the entire cd1 files/folder to a build area '/var/LZ3', and I also added additional RPMS from CD2,3, and 4 to the /var/LZ3/RedHat/RPMS folders afterward to fulfill my package needs. Afterward, I update the hdlist with hdgenlist command. MOST of the package seem to be works, except, about 4 of them WILL NOT INSTALL from using kickstart, and the updated RPMS in the UPDATE folders didn't get apply during installation dwc -----Original Message----- From: Taylor, ForrestX [mailto:forrestx.taylor@intel.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 5:25 PM To: Chan, Dominic Cc: anaconda-devel-list(a)redhat.com Subject: RE: Allow manual dependency resolution during kickstartinstallation On Tue, 2004-04-20 at 14:21, Chan, Dominic wrote: > If I use ignoredeps, would it stop the installation, or would it show me > what I need to resolve the problem first Actually, it is supposed to do that by default, but it doesn't seem to be working for you. --ignoredeps just installs the package without getting the dependencies or asking (I believe).

Kickstart + Upgrade.
by Stafford Horne 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

Hello, Normally when kickstarting the kickstart file should contain "install" or "upgrade". I you leave this out it will default to "install". I am attempting to change this behavior... If I do not have "install" or "upgrade" in the kickstart file I would like for anaconda to search for existing installations and do the following: If installation found prompt "would you like to upgrade or reinstall" If installation not foundp continue with kickstart in the normal way. I have finished most of this except for if I select reinstall it goes to the "installtype" stage. Now I do call skipStep("installtype") in setSteps() so it should not do that. For some reason when I select reinstall all of the steps get turned back on. Has anyone done this before? is anyone familiar with the logic and can help me out a bit? Stafford

Future Anaconda Developments
by Razvan Corneliu C.R. "d3vi1" VILT 19 Apr '04

19 Apr '04

So... Anaconda is evolving nicely. It looks great, it runs on many architectures, it's very easy to extend, it's very clean, what more can anyone want? Right? Wrong! We should look in the future, there are features that we've seen in other distros which are so appreciated. I'd like to high-light two of them: 1) Multiple OS. Debian GNU system can run not only on top of Linux but also on top of HURD and FreeBSD and others, using glibc and BSD-libc. This should be interesting: Attempting to package the FreeBSD/HURD kernel as an rpm, creating a Fedora Core GNU/FreeBSD version. Although not that useful (not at all actually), it would be nice to have Fedora Core run under FreeBSD. 2) Compile with optimizations. Gentoo was the first one to introduce this. Instead of coming with the /Fedora/RPMS directory, the distribution could come only with /SRPMS, or both: if the user has enough time and patience, he can recompile the system, if not, just install the i386 binaries. The stage2.img could have also some minimal (~80MBytes) system to include glibc and gcc and a few others, then start recompiling packages with optimizations. Compile one, install-it, clean the compile traces, depending on the settings, keep the compiled packages after install, or remove them. A few extra macros could be created for some new targets in rpmbuild (such as Pentium3/Pentium3-unstable (-O3 and others) or something else), spec's should be modified again, to include special arguments or over-rides for new architectures, where the default optimized headers would not work. Another advantage to this approach is that only a small part (~200MBytes) would be architecture-dependent. The rest, could be used also on other architectures. A serious issue here is solving the build dependencies, provided that they are correctly recorded in the spec files. Anaconda, for example, does not depend on py-xf86config and parted, last time I checked, this is a binary package dep though, nevermind this example. I'll start to implement something like this in the near future, but a lot of things should be changed before that (new targets for rpms). Example targets for x86, but there are more: i386 i586 i686 K6 K6-2 Athlon AthlonXP Pentium ]I[ Pentium IV Each one of these could have a stable/unstable (bleeding-edge) macro. Other issues: I'm sure that this should belong to fedora-devel list, but I'm asking here (yeah, /me lazy). Shouldn't the comps.xml in rawhide also contain kde-libs? Because it doesn't. It has only kde-libs-devel. Cheers, Razvan VILT

Missing RPM

If I use the original 4 CD set from RHEL 3.0 Update 1, and the custom ks.cfg on a floppy. During boot-up, I type linux ks=floppy, the installation go by without a hitch! All packages install as expected, and the RPM inside the Update folder on the 1st CD also get apply. However, if I use the custom CD I have created, and the custom ks.cfg on the floppy. During boot-up, I type the same linux ks=floppy command, about 4 of the RPM are not installed (i.e. libdbi, libxslt,lockdev,mx). Also, the RPM in the Update folder are not being applied during installation like it would normally does. And finally, if I look at my package section of anaconda-ks.cfg after the build, it has been alter drastically compare to what I was expecting %packages @ mysql @ web-server @ mail-server @ dns-server @ ftp-server -php-ldap -setserial kernel gru Can anyone have any idea on where I begin to trouble shoot this problem Both the individual sending this e-mail and The Lubrizol Corporation intend that this electronic message be used exclusively by the individual or entity to which it is intended to be addressed.
