creating a kickstart cd containing needed rpms

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



i want to create a kickstart cd that contains ONLY the rpms that i need to
install my system (gnome/etc), and no packages that i don't want (say text
based internet, print support).

what i need to do:
figure out the dependencies for everything and have them available
have the boot loader specify the kickstart file on the cdrom automatically

this is all for a rescue cd for my mother in case her system takes a crap
and i can't ssh in or get out to her to fix it.  all she should have to do
is turn the computer on adn pop that cd in, everything else is automatic.

all responses will be documented and formed into a howto for future use.
