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

[Joel Andres Granados]

I must insist you use pungi because it just makes your life easier. If
your objective is to learn how the "customization stuff" works you could
always look at pungis code and find out.
For me its pretty simple:
1: create your rpms.
2: put them all inside a directory (/path/to/rpms/)
3: run `createrepo /path/to/rpms`
4: make the created repository accessible to pungi. (modify the
/etc/pungi/pungi.conf file)
5: add your packages to the minimal-manifest file.
6: run `pungi -c /etc/pungi/pungi.conf`
7: wait a couple of minutes...... wait......
8: enjoy your dvd, cd images with custom rpms inside.



Regards
Joel
