Thank for your email. THis is not what I want. I have a machine installed 6 months ago, which has then been enriched by a lot of packages. Now I would like to clone the installation. typically I want to pass from i386 to x86_64 and from FC10 to FC11 expecting to get a similar machine. Regards.
Hello, If I understand correctly, anaconda and kickstart let install a machine identically to a previous machine installed with anaconda. If the machine has been upgraded by all sort of packages, then the use of anaconda is obsolete. Am I correct ? Is there a way to rebuild a file which could be used on the 2nd machine, either which anaconda or with yum or something else ?Anaconda is the installation program used by RH/Fedora for the initial install. If you've updated the packages on your source machine, you have a couple of options: A) Run "yum update" on the newly built system(s) after the kickstart build has finished. B) Download the updated packages to your source/install repository, and let them be installed by the kickstart build process. If you look at your kickstart file, you'll note that there are no versions listed...only package and/or package group names. As long as all the appropriate packages are there to satisfy prereq/dependencies, you should be fine.
