Hai there, Ive wiped out my FC4 to install FC5T2 just to test kadischi. It's a pity that till now I couldn't get nvidia working. Anyway,
I tried to patch anaconda, but it failed:
patch -b /usr/sbin/anaconda /usr/local/share/kadischi/patches/anaconda.patch patching file /usr/sbin/anaconda Hunk #1 FAILED at 400. Hunk #2 succeeded at 510 with fuzz 2 (offset 16 lines). Hunk #3 succeeded at 1154 (offset 22 lines). 1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file /usr/sbin/anaconda.rej
So I get my hands into the patch, and create a NEW patch. Ive attached it in this mail.
Ive patched anaconda again. This time is was successful.
patch -b /usr/sbin/anaconda /home/chitlesh/anacondafc5t2.patch patching file /usr/sbin/anaconda
Ive successfully patched flags.py too.
[root@goorah ~]# patch -b /usr/lib/anaconda/flags.py /usr/local/share/kadischi/patches/flags.py.patch patching file /usr/lib/anaconda/flags.py
But kadischi cant launch anaconda.

Then, I patched kadischi.py with JasperHartline's kadischi-fc5tx.patch and executed kadischi cdrom:// /tmp/fc5t2.iso again.
THIS TIME ANACONDA MADE my screen flick repetitively after detecting my graphic card. All i needed to do is to press the power button.
after booting my FC5T2 again, I tried again. But landed with another error.

I am in the copying process of the dvd on my drive and ill execute kadischi afterwards. Ill keep you tuned. by the way [root@goorah ~]# rpm -qa | grep anaconda anaconda-10.91.9-1 busybox-anaconda-1.01-2.1 anaconda-runtime-10.91.9-1
I successfully launched graphically anaconda, but afterwards I landed on the partitioning.

The partitioning section of Anaconda, as Jeremy Katz pointed out needs some coaxing. Since Anaconda's rootpath method seems to be sufficient for use with Kadischi, the partitioning steps are all really that need to be rolled out.

With FC5t2 you won't be needing to patch Anaconda or flags.py. Aren't you the one who put in the "What is rootpath mode?" in the FAQ? Have you been reading the list, or what is going on? :-P
Oh, also I think that isn't a Kadischi FAQ, since we are on the subject, it has nothing to do with Kadischi all to do with Anaconda.
Then, I patched kadischi.py with JasperHartline's kadischi-fc5tx.patch and executed kadischi cdrom:// /tmp/fc5t2.iso again.

This is something I am concerned with, cdrom:// is currently not usable with Kadischi. As it stands, I've tested Kadischi with a DVD media repository suing cdrom:// cdrom://hdd:// and a local file path, to the mounted optical media, and they all fail for different reasons.
Perhaps Bill Nottingham can get some work in on Kadischi, and do what it is he needs to do. Otherwise I am plenty happy to get you guys setup with a makeshift, temporary solution to building RAWHIDE ISOs. I've already built a few minimals, some with Gnome.. and they all work excellent.

Note that as a general thing, rootpath has traditionally just been for some debugging purposes with anaconda and I don't know when we'll get a chance to actually put some time into cleaning it up. Therefore, having patches submitted would really help to move things along

Thanks for the status report, I'll keep this in mind.

ok ive just read them :) You broke my joy in creating my first ever patch :) lol Nevertheless, I ran with some errors before patching.
Aren't you the one who put in the "What is rootpath mode?" in the FAQ? Have you been reading the list, or what is going on? :-P
Ok Ill remove it right now :)

Im eager to get hold of them :)
