[Fedora-livecd-list] FC6 Customization - 1st steps

[Vladimir Shebordaev]

Hi, Isamar,

I happened to be recently engaged in the project alike. The 
things were a little more complicated in my case. They wanted 
custom rpms to be included and the most recent packages to be 
already there. I've managed to coupe with it at last.

It seems you should edit comps.xml file to modify installation 
options such as default packages to be installed or software 
groups and categories as they shown up to the user. Then you 
should create yum repository based on this new comps.xml. If you 
like you can include CD/DVD media id and embed MD5 checksum into 
the disk image. You should also tweak anaconda to accept your new 
repository at installation time probably following the procedure 
described on Pungi wiki pages.

In the hope it helps.

Regards,
Vladimir
