Hi 

It's working, thank's to all who replied. Mogens, that script was the 
lifesaver. The format for the second genhdlist command was what I was 
missing.

Just one question on the buildinstall command. I didn't actually need it 
but when I ran it I got the following error.

[root at richmond mnt]# buildinstall --pkgorder /mnt/pkgorder.lst --version 
3 --product \"Fedora Core\" --release \"Fedora Core 3\" --prodpath 
Fedora  /mnt
Usage: buildinstall [--comp <component>] [--pkgorder <file>] [--version 
<version>] [--product <product>] [--release <comment>] [--prodpath 
<path>] [--discs <discstring>] <root>

Any ideas.

Thank's again,

Tony
