I'd like to create a bootable CDROM which I can drop into the CD and walk away from while it loads a subset of RPMS and does some vanilla configuration. Basically the Redhat installer in a non interactive, totally CD contained install. Looking through various docs. it looks like perhaps a combination of mkisofs, mkkickstart would work. What do I need to hack to build the installable CD? I assume I would only need the stuff under RedHat. Taking a look at that I see an instimage directory: any details on its' purpose? Is this a bootstrap for the install process? base directory: the base install? any pointers on info related to its contents? RPMS: pretty self explanitory ;-) Thanks in advance! -Noah ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
