And we use Satellite / Spacewalk / Cobbler... however, I've found that cobbler buildiso creates nice easy bootable ISOs, however, the templates in /etc/cobbler are not really used.. So customization is slightly painful. First, make any necessary adjustments to the following file (location might be different for you): /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_buildiso.py For us, we needed to make the following changes: * Customize the menu display and branding * Add appropriate help options (verbosity for ops team) * Move system records above profiles (each ISO is intended for a specific system and scrolling through a long list of profiles sucked) * Fix the (local) boot option (LOCALBOOT -1 instead of the crap it had) Afterwards, we had to delete the following: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_buildiso.pyc /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_buildiso.pyo We then sync'd and restarted cobbler: # cobbler sync # service cobblerd restart To build an ISO for a specific system.. Create the cobbler system record: # cobbler system $command \ --name=$name \ --profile=$profile \ --hostname=$shortname \ --redhat-management-key=$redhat_management_key \ --kopts="ksdevice=link hostname=$shortname lang=en_US dns=$dns ip=$ip netmask=$netmask" \ --ksmeta="hostname=$shortname ip=$ip netmask=$netmask gateway=$gateway dns=$dns" Build the ISO # cobbler buildiso --system $name --iso=$WORK Hope that helps.

Now, I have used yumdownloader -y rygel to get: rygel-0.16.4-1.fc18.x86_64.rpm My question is can you give me a HOWTO here (or point me to a URL) for complete instructions on modifying the comps.xml and repopulating a mounted iso image? It has been many years since I have needed to that. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
