Hi,
I have built a custom FC1 cd by removing all the unwanted rpms and making a single cd which suits my purpose.
What i have not been able to find is how to upgrade the boot kernel
which is used by the installer when installing the FC1. The original
boot kernel in FC1 cd does not have support for certain things like sata
drives or certain scsi,lan cards.
Due to lack of such drivers the installation itself fails as it is not
able to initialise the harddisk via the scsi cards.I have been trying to
understand how to upgrade the boot kernel which resides in the isolinux
directory of the cd.
But have no success and also am unable to find any help via google.
Does anybody know how to achieve this, especially as to how to handle the modules.dep, modules.cgz etc. Any informative link would also be very helpful to me.
An article describing how to create an updated FC2 distribution (including an updated kernel) can be found at:

You should be able to use a similar procedure for FC1, though why you would want to bother with an already end-of-line distribution I don't really know.
