no.
Out of interest, how do the CentOS team rebuild the installer?
Having a very quick look at the docs, it appears to be far much more than I need ... for CentOS 4, I use a short script to run genhdlist (twice), pkgorder and buildinstall (pulled from the build.sh.txt above) - is there a similar script for CentOS 5 available somewhere?
There is no script really, since its all yum repo's on the install media, its just a case of making sure your repo's are complete, the packages dep loop close, and running buildinstall once.
How do I make sure the 'packages dep loop close' - does that mean running pkgorder?
In most cases, I highly recommend you dont even do the buildinstall process. just use what is shipped with the centos media, just adapt repo's to taste.
Yes, I agree, but there are times (with CentOS 4) that I have needed to rebuild the installer for my own needs - and I would like to make sure I can do this with CentOS 5 when required.
Thanks
