check out the kickstart menu option (menu -> system tools), also there's alot of kickstart documentation on redhat.com's doc webpage... that's the direction you want to head in. also, you'd probably want to change the yum.conf that comes with fedora core to point to your own yum mirror... use the ftpcopy program to mirror someone else's yum repository and host it on your own web site. also, to make things easier for you and your customers, check out www.fedora.us, they're the inspiration for the redhat fedora core, have apt and synaptic as a part of your installation, that way your customers can more easily update their systems. -d ----- Original Message ----- From: Chadley Wilson <chadley@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 01 Apr 2004 19:01:10 +0200 To: fedora-list <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Make a distro from installation > Guys I am sure I has bee discussed before, > Where do you get the docs on how I can turn my current installation into > a distro. > Basiclly what I must have is a recovery cd. > But I am unsure of which route to take. > > > I have not added any thing to the distro except for some drivers. > and run some updates on the existing packages. > > It will be used for mass production of pcs aimed at the home-user > market. > We have about 10 different specs and I have incorporated into my "image" > support for all the systems.
