General question on rolling a custom Fedora DVD

Submitted by digimer on June 17, 2010 - 9:23am

Hi all,

I hope this isn't too off topic. I've been trying to solve a problem related to rolling a custom set of RPMs in a Fedora 13 DVD without luck. A friend who uses mythdora suggested I ask here, as you guys have obviously done the same to create your variant distro. :)

I've been trying to regenerate the 'dvd:/repodata' directory's contents to properly reflect the updated RPM set in 'dvd:/Packages'. I've tried running 'createrepo Packages' from the root of the DVD and it generates a list of files, but the installer doesn't seem to like it... It complains that repo data is bad (sorry, I don't have the exact error at the moment).

So my question is; What is the magic incantation for createrepo to create a repodata directory of files that the Fedora installer will see the updated list of available RPMs?

Thanks!

You need to modify the comps

You need to modify the comps file on the disk to represent your package groups. If you have things that no longer exist in reference you'll make anaconda mad. Especially true if things are listed as mandatory or default.

We use a tool called pungi that assists us in spinning the distro.

I am trying to make a custom

Submitted by agillis on June 29, 2010 - 12:23pm.

I am trying to make a custom spin as well. I have never used pungi. I just tried it an it works brilliantly! I created a custom Fedora iso in about 1/2 hour. The only thing I can't figure if how you got it to use the autoks.cfg file.
