Hi
It's working, thank's to all who replied. Mogens, that script was the
lifesaver. The format for the second genhdlist command was what I was
missing.
Just one question on the buildinstall command. I didn't actually need it
but when I ran it I got the following error.
[root at richmond mnt]# buildinstall --pkgorder /mnt/pkgorder.lst --version
3 --product \"Fedora Core\" --release \"Fedora Core 3\" --prodpath
Fedora /mnt
Usage: buildinstall [--comp <component>] [--pkgorder <file>] [--version
<version>] [--product <product>] [--release <comment>] [--prodpath
<path>] [--discs <discstring>] <root>
Any ideas.
Thank's again,
Tony
