Hi,
I want to install FC3 using the latest RPMS over NFS. This means I have to build an updated set of RPMS on my NFS exported partition. This worked with no problems on FC2.
I copy the FC3 disks to my NFS exported partition. Copy over the updated version of the RPMS. Tidy up the Fedora/RPMS directory removing any duplicated RPMS.
I use a perl script for this:
ftp://ftp.crc.dk/pub/fedora/update/mergedvd.pl
Hi
It's working, thank's to all who replied. Mogens, that script was the lifesaver. The format for the second genhdlist command was what I was missing.
Just one question on the buildinstall command. I didn't actually need it but when I ran it I got the following error.
[root@richmond mnt]# buildinstall --pkgorder /mnt/pkgorder.lst --version 3 --product \"Fedora Core\" --release \"Fedora Core 3\" --prodpath Fedora /mnt
Usage: buildinstall [--comp <component>] [--pkgorder <file>] [--version <version>] [--product <product>] [--release <comment>] [--prodpath <path>] [--discs <discstring>] <root>
Any ideas.
Looks like bad quoting to me:
\"Fedora Core\"
is two parameters, one with a quote mark at the start of the word and one with a quote mark at the end.
Perhaps it should have been:
buildinstall --pkgorder /mnt/pkgorder.lst \ --version 3 \ --product '"Fedora Core"' \ --release '"Fedora Core 3"' \ --prodpath Fedora \ /mnt
(if the quotes were wanted as part of the product and release), or:
buildinstall --pkgorder /mnt/pkgorder.lst \ --version 3 \ --product "Fedora Core" \ --release "Fedora Core 3" \ --prodpath Fedora \ /mnt
if they weren't.
