As the title says, I'd like to reinstall fedora 15 with the netinstall image because it's about 100mb (kernel and initrd) instead of the install dvds. My problem is that those files located in http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/x86_64... have long been outdated. As you can see the kernel is only 3.7mb and the initrd almost 94mb. How to rebuild them from the latest kernel-2.6.40.4-6.fc15?
--joshua
yum install dracut-network
use dracut (like mkinitrd) # dracut initrd.img `uname -r`
That's it.
Yoy can PXE boot that, or roll it up into a bootable iso, which is what netboot is.
But why not just use the existing iso? easier
Good Luck!

I want to reinstall fedora on a intel fake-raid1 which is practically a software raid. In order to save all the config headaches I want to use a f16-livecd and rebuild the netinstall image with the kernel for f15 (kernel-2.6.40.4-6.fc15) and just boot from it. So from your example '# dracut initrd.img `uname -r' I think `uname -r` will return the running f16 kernel, not the one I want to use. Do I need the kernel-devel-package for this?
