Hi,
I'd like to update the boot images like the boot.iso/pxeboot images with a newer kernel. Where can I find info on how to build those images?
Thanks,
Rob

Search for "buildinstall". Basically, install anaconda and anaconda-runtime, copy your complete updated tree[1] to a writable directory (I used /tmp/a), make sure you have a pkgorder file and run something like:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --debug --comp blah --pkgorder /tmp/a/pkgorder --version 4 --product Fedora --release "Fedora Core 4" --prodpath Fedora /tmp/a
which, if everything works, will grind for a bit and then spit out a rebuilt set of images. I recently had to do this to support the hardware on some systems with nForce4 430-based boards. (I had to apply a couple of quick hacks to anaconda and kudzu as well; see the anaconda-devel archives for details.
1) I have a script (pilfered from elsewhere on the 'net) that will pull updates into a tree and regenerate hdlist for you. As a bonus it spits out a pkgorder file as well. If you want it, let me know and I'll put it somewhere accessible.
