well, you can always just give the cutomer a USB key :)

[CW] Nope I am afraid we don't do business that way, it would be nice though... unfortunately I don't get to decide...
Good news however I am testing my first rebuilt disc...
[CW] Does anyone here know where on the install disc the initrd-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.img is located? Is it in an rpm? which one?
the one in /boot/... it's generated at install time by the anaconda installer, from the kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.$arch.rpm and mkinitrd
So you will need the re-run a mkinitrd after the %post install with the right argument... and if you can make anaconda recognize your hardware...
Wouldn't it be faster to move to 5.3 (if your cdrom is supported?).
I plan to dl the source rpm and patch it properly so not to worry.
FYI - I know this is not the fun way of doing things, and I read many responses to other posts where the outcome is "But why do it that way?" there are two reasons why I am doing it the hard way. the first is for me, I want to learn how. The second is that we often have to add drivers to Linux systems to get them to install. So it is a necessary requirement for me to know how to do this.

Your input on my above question would be greatly appreciated... TIA
