Hi everyone,
I have seen several posts in the past where someone asks about building Fedora ISO images. I have yet to see a response.
Surely _someone_ must know how this is done. Why is there never a response? Is this knowledge a 'secret sauce' that nobody wishes to share?

Not really secret sauce. Build all the packages, boot the result, build all the packages again with it, figure out how to fit it all and the installer on the CD images and burn.
Lots of this is currently done by the Red Hat internal build systems and those are tied to a lot of Red Hat specific baggage you really don't want.
An external build system is on the todo list for Fedora

One way to do this is to look at LFS. The idea is to make a shell script to do what the LFS book says. I have done this once and are doing it again (for various reasons) right now. It would be a simple, but tedious, job to replace the LFS packages with fedora packages.
One downside with my current approach is that I am building a system from tarballs and SRPMs but the resulting "distribution" is not RPM based. I think someone could fix this when I am done..
Just ask and I will mail the resulting scripts (under the GPL) to whoever wants them, when I am done.

Let me guess. Those who know how to do it and who are subscribed here either will answer later or are tired of re-posting information that can be found in the various list archives or via Google.

kickstart
As for general package building inside clean chroots, mach may be of use to you.

I'm in the process of updating it so it builds for Fedora Core 1 as well, almost there but I have some heads to butt together before I can finish it.
