Wrapping a dist with a boot/kickstart disc.

[Johnson, Richard]

Hi folks-
How does one generate a boot disk (CD) wrapping a distro?

The constraint is that the original distro disk(s) remain unmodified
(fwiw: a RHEL3 variant)
The minimal boot disk supplies the installer kernel, splash screens, and
a kickstart.

My plan is to pull the installer from the distro, but not any of the
RPMS. 
My first attempt booted; asked for the distro CD; and promptly refused
to recognize it.
Since this is my first attempt with anaconda I'm full of questions.  To
start:

Do I still need a .discinfo if no RPMS come from the boot disk?  
-          If so, must it match the distro?  
How about a .buildstamp?
Do I need a <distro>/base directory providing the anaconda ramdisks?
Is there a cookbook for this sort of operation?

BTW-does http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/

ment  have a new home?

Thx,
