Adding my own RPMS

[Greg Simon]

Probably a silly question, but I can't simply add custom RPMs to my
respository folder and then add their names in the kickstart file,
huh? (it's not working...)
What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks...
Greg

You need to run genhdlist again. This is in the anaconda-runtime
package. Here's the script I am using.

------------------
#!/bin/bash

FCVERSION=4
ARCH=i386

echo generating hdlist...
FCROOT=/usr/local/archive/fedora-livecd-repo
GENHDDIR=/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime

chmod 644 ${FCROOT}/Fedora/base/hdlist
${GENHDDIR}/genhdlist ${FCROOT} || echo "*** GENHDLIST FAILED ***"

------------------

The whole topic of repo management needs documentation. Until there are
some tools, which could be part of the kadischi package, people are
going to get tripped up.

Glen,

This worked for recognition of the added RPMs, but the anaconda
installer now hangs at "preparing RPM transactions..." -- if I put
back the hdlist + hdlist2 files from the FC DVD, things continue.  Am
I missing a file update?

Thanks for your help.

Greg

It may be a good idea to ask these questions on anaconda-devel list 
(https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list) since they 
are more anaconda oriented that kadischi specific...

I don't know.  It works for me :-(

I don't claim to be an anaconda expert. Maybe Darko's advice is the
correct channel.

Glen.
