iso build

Download Centos Server iso

mount the iso file like this:

mount CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-i386.iso ./CentOS-4.4 -t iso9660 -o ro,loop

Then copy the iso to a new directory:

cp -r CentOS-4.4 EVB-0.003-i386

cd EVB-0.003-i386

copy your kickstart file:

cp your/kickstart/file ks.cfg

copy the EVB build into the CD directory:

cp pathtofile/EVB-0.003.tgz EVB-0.003.tgz

edit isolinux/isolinux.cfg so that it looks like this:

default EVB
label EVB
kernel vmlinuz
append ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img

write the iso file (all one line):

mkisofs -o /var/www/html/files/linux/EVB-0.003-i386.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T /var/www/html/files/linux/EVB-0.003-i386

When making custom-made CD etc.,which is necessary to investigate the dependency of the RPM files.
It can investigate easily as follows:

Premise:The directory with RPM files are /tmp/i386/RedHat/RPMS

?$cd /tmp/i386/RedHat/RPMS

Make the directory for test
?$mkdir -p /tmp/testdb

Initialize the RPMDB
?$rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/testdb

Dependency check
?$rpm --test --dbpath /tmp/testdb -Uvh *.rpm
