hacking anaconda to run post install
by James_Martin＠ao.uscourts.gov 04 Sep '06

I would like to perform some hackery on anaconda that would let me, post installation, parse out _only_ the partitioning statements and create those partitions that are defined. Any idea how to go about doing this? Has it been done already? James S. Martin, RHCE Contractor Administrative Office of the United States Courts Washington, DC (202) 502-2394

Anaconda - Kadischi install to disk from LiveCD
by Jasper O'neal Hartline 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Hello. I have a prototype Kadischi here that can be invoked from LiveCD made with Kadischi and also acts as a installer to disk from LiveCD. The problems I am having relate to packages.py, yuminstall.py and grabber.py in the Python package under yum and urlgrabber site-packages. I keep getting exceptions stating "Cannot open header" or "Cannot open package header" for instance on a Fedora Core 5 machine lines 159 and 161 when in fact /tmp/cache/headers/*.hdr exists for the transaction set chosen. I notice in the real installer boot.iso for FC6T2 we actually get headers populating a directory: /tmp/anaconda-base-200608030842.i386 I'm curious if anyone has any idea on how to resolve the issue with not opening package headers, and or where this directory is created. Even symlinking anaconda-base-2006080308432.i386 to /tmp/cache where the headers really are, doesn't work. Like Anaconda deletes the symlink in /tmp or something. Any ideas where I can look to rectify this issue? A Live CD installer using Anaconda would be excellent in my opinion, I almost have it working. J. Hartline
