I have been trying to get this working, and have succeeded in getting to the -B or -I stage. I then get an error about treeinfo not found by pypungi or pungipy. I am trying to customize heavily the packages that appear on the CDs (instead of DVD, using CD for old i586, F11 is last Fedora supporting i586) and that could be the problem. The packages appear to be the latest. I use the repos as follows repo --name=f11-rel --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-11&arch=i386 repo --name=f11-rel-src --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-11&arch=i386 repo --name=f11-upd --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f11&arch=i386 repo --name=f11-upd-src --mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-source-f11&arch=i386 # rpmff = rpmfusionfree, rpmfn = rpmfusionnonfree repo --name=rpmff --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-11&arch=i386 repo --name=rpmff-src --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-source-11&arch=i386 repo --name=rpmfn --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-11&arch=i386 repo --name=rpmfn-src --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-source-11&arch=i386 repo --name=rpmff-updates --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-updates-released-11&arch=i386 repo --name=rpmff-updates-src --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-updates-released-source-11&arch=i386 repo --name=rpmfn-updates --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-updates-released-11&arch=i386 repo --name=rpmfn-updates-src --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-updates-released-source-11&arch=i386 in the kickstart file. It definitely pulled in the latest kernel, and I see it grabbing repomd files when it starts, so it should be using the latest. It would be so much easier if it used the repos from the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory, but it ignores them. I'm not sure why pungi isn't using yum to do the downloads since it is installed and it works fine from the chroot shell. Maybe it is. If so, I don't understand why it doesn't just use the configured repos. The whole process is so opaque once the downloads are complete that it is difficult to know what is happening. I see cpu being used, I see programs running, I see downloads happening, but I can't track the progress. If worst comes to worst, I'll put the rpms on media and use a live CD to install a basic setup, then update from the CDs. I have a couple of changes to your instructions. Instead of mkdir to make a copy of /var/lib/mock I used cp -r --preserve=all /var/lib/mock <path-to-work-area>/mock And you had a typo in your instruction to begin the mock process. Instead of cd /opt/spins it should be cd /opt/Local/mock; at least that is what I did and it worked, changing /opt/Local to my <path-to-work-area>. Your suggestion of installing vim was a good one as it let me edit the kickstart file in place. I got a lot farther with your instructions than I did before. I think I am at the ISO creation stage, and it is choking because I didn't do something that it wants. I'm not sure what the purpose of treeinfo is. I'll keep plugging away. Maybe I'll just create a liveCD for practice, or create the default Fedora configuration. I'm not on the F11 system right now as I am based in F12 mostly these days, but I think I used pretty much your pungi build line, except I took out the --nosplitmedia because I'm building CDs and I added --nodebuginfo and --force because of all the restarts I have done. I tried adding --selfhosting to get around the treeinfo issue, no dice. I see --fulltree, but I think that requires a source build so I won't be trying that. I'll look in the pungi source to see if I can find any clue to why it is complaining (or some quick and dirty hack to bypass the error :-0 ). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
