Re: Anaconda-devel-list Digest, Vol 34, Issue 16

I found that it is the comps.xml file that needs to be edited before running the pkgordering and then the buildinstall. I concluded this as I could see everything working properly when I did this by dumping the original Fedora tree and then went on to start the building process. It went on smoothly without any errors. But the problem is with the editing of the comps.xml file. I don't know how to edit it with my own customized packages and howto check the dependencies with it. Please help me, Thanking You, M.

buildinstall error in FC5
by M. ArunKumar 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Hello, I am ArunKumar. I'm trying to customise the Anaconda installer. I'm using FC5 and have created the proper build environment as given in the Fedora Site. I have completed createrepo and pkgorder properly without any errors. But I get some errors during the buildinstall phase. The command usage for buildinstall is proper and I have all the required packages like anaconda-runtime in my custom build directory in the RPMS folder. The error is as follows: cpio: premature end of file I get these errors during Expanding text packages, Expanding graphical packages and Retrieving time zones. What could be the reason for this? I would be grateful to you if you could guide me for the same and if possible please let me know about the exact procedure for building a customised Anaconda Installer and please help me with the buildinstall error in FC5. Thanking You, M. ArunKumar

Heds-up, don't use kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 for installation.

Hi all, The current production kernel for FC6 is missing an important component for those of us who roll our own installation trees. Squashfs! 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 in Testing is fixed. HTH. -- Bill in Denver

Re: From Scratch
by Rangi Biddle 19 Dec '06

Dear List, I am currently using the Linux From Scratch distribution on one of my test machines and will be moving to the Hardened Linux From Scratch distribution. I will be building RPM's from the Hardened Linux From Scratch distribution and I would like to use Anaconda for the most obvious thing of installing these newly built RPM's onto a fresh system. Can anyone provide links and or documentation on where I can obtain the anaconda source and perhaps some instructions/urls on how to modify the anaconda installer for achieving this result. Kind regards, Rangi

libparted problems on FC6 while building install CD with pungi?
by Jeroen Janssen 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hello, There currently is a "known problem" regarding libparted and building an Anaconda installation CD on FC6 (see also https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2006-December/msg00001.h… ) I would have expected this problem to be solved with an (official) update to FC6 somehow, but this is not the case yet (I just updated to the latest official FC6 updates and I still get the problem). Any idea on how to get this fixed correctly so i can build ISOs again on a "normal" FC6 installation? Best regards, Jeroen Janssen

Design Questions
by Daniel F de Araujo 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hello list, I have a couple of questions regarding the design of the network gui/text screen. Before I ask, it maybe helpful to explain my setup and situation: I have a network adapter with two ports. The first port (eth0, static IP) is connected to the public network and the other port (eth1, dhcp) is connected to my private network (same subnet as the NFS installation and DHCP servers). After I grab a dynamic IP for eth1 and setup the partitions, I end up in the network gui. Here, I enter the static IP address of eth0. I cannot, however, edit the gateway or DNS settings (which are different than eth1) for this port (eth0). So: 1) Is Anaconda designed to simply configure the adapter/port that accesses the install data? I assume the responsibility would then fall on the user to configure the other adapters during the firstboot process or setup agent screen. 2) If #1 is true, then I am curious as to why Anaconda allows the user to configure the IP, but the not the gateway/DNS information, for other adapters since it relies on firstboot, etc. Thanks in advance for the help/explanations. Regards, -Dan -- Daniel F. de Araujo IBM Linux Technology Center

I have posted a conversion of the Anaconda cvs repository to mercurial along with rPath's source tree for Anaconda on our public mercurial site. This is readonly and available for anyone to use. The anaconda-upstream module should get updated daily. http://hg.rpath.com/anaconda-upstream http://hg.rpath.com/anaconda Elliot
