Title: Custom ISO 5.5
Post by: J Price on April 03, 2003, 10:42:23 AM

Has anyone had success with creating a custom ISO for SME5.5?
If so, what version of anaconda did you use?

Specifically I am having trouble with genhdlist.  If I use anaconda-runtime 7.0.1 it creates and hdlist file much larger than Mitel's orignal and the resulting ISO terminates abnormally.  Anaconda version's 7.1.5 and 7.2 create two file hdlist and hdlist2 and I have the same problem with the ISO.

Thanks, for your help in advance.

James,

Did you find the anaconda source file at ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/releases/5.5/SRPMS

the anaconda-7.0.1-163es.src.rpm contains all the patches that were made to redhat's version to produce the e-smith version.

I did find and try that version of anaconda.  However, for some reason if you use it to genhdlist it creates an unusually large hdlist file and the resulting ISO fails.

I ended up using the stock anaconda from RedHat 7.0.  I believe it was version 7.0.1-6.  This version created a normal sized hdlist file and the ISO works.

Thanks for the reply.
