Hi. I am trying to install kernel-smp-2.6.8-1.521.i586.rpm into atypical root directory (/tftpboot/node_root) for the diskless clients to use. rpm version: rpm-4.3.1-0.3 OS: fedora core 2 The procedure I did is: --------------------- mkdir -p /tftpboot/node_root/var/lib/ rsync -a /var/lib/rpm /tftpboot/node_root/var/lib/ rpm -ivh -vvv --root /tftpboot/node_root/ --force --nodeps --noscripts kernel-smp-2.6.8-1.521.i586.rpm --------------------- However, it takes more than 30 minutes to finish this... I also tried to use the rpm in the development (version: 4.3.2-10), the result is the same. Does anybody encounter similar problem and know why ? ps. The "rpm -ivh -vvv" spent most of its time in "D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Basenames create mode=0x42" like this: -------------------------------------------------------------- ... Preparing... D: computing file dispositions D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Basenames create mode=0x42 -------------------------------------------------------------- -- Steven Shiau
