pungi ignores a lot of RPMs when building CD image

[Remy Bohmer]

Hello All,

To finish this thread:
Due to this bug, I believe that Pungi/Anaconda is not ready yet for
building a really custom installation CD, derived from Fedora 6 and
custom repositories. It took me a lot of time and finally I had to
give it up.

I want to thank the people that helped me so far for their efforts.
Unfortunately I am not going to be using it any further.


Kind Regards,

Remy Bohmer
