[Thincrust-devel] New Appliance Creator and livecd-tools rpms

[Dwain Sims]

Sorry folks I fell behind yesterday.  I discovered that I could not run
Xen on Fedora 9, and that is what I set my build and test environment up
as.  So I spent some time yesterday afternoon reloading Fedora 8.  I am
good to go now I believe.

Since I used yum and git to pull everything down fresh this morning (per
the instruction on the website), do I need to do any further updating,
or do I have the latest for building with RHEL5?


Thanks

Dwain Sims

David has released new Appliance creator and livecd tool rpms at 
http://www.thincrust.net/download. These will enable you to build Fedora

and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 appliances.

To build RHEL5, you need to ensure that you specify the partitions to 
use ide disks (hda) such as:

part / --size 600 --fstype ext3 --ondisk hda
part /boot --size 120 --fstype ext3 --ondisk hda


while fedora needs to use scsi (sda) disks:

part / --size 600 --fstype ext3 --ondisk sda
part /boot --size 120 --fstype ext3 --ondisk sda


In addition, you must specify an selinux line in the kickstart file:

selinux --disabled


-- bk
