Hello all!
I am trying to make a stripped down CentOS 5.2 distro which will all fit on a single CD containing just the base and a few other packages I need.
I run buildinstall like so:
sudo /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --debug --version 5 --product CentOS --comps /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64/repodata/comps.xml --release My-CentOS-5.2 --prodpath CentOS /var/www/html/centos/5.2/os/x86_64
and when I do so I run into the following errors:
Expanding packages... retrieving timezones Creating nsswitch.conf Creating libuser.conf Creating fedorakmod.conf Creating multipath.conf Fixing up /etc/man.config to point into /mnt/sysimage Running mkfontdir... Creating SELinux policy... libsemanage.semanage_install_sandbox: genhomedircon returned error code 1.

When I look in /tmp/treedir.9508/image-template I notice that the bin directory indeed does not exist. I've googled and the closest thing I can find to my problem is this:
http://osdir.com/ml/redhat.anaconda.devel/2002-07/msg00010.html
in that he says the bin dirs are missing also but he says one is a file and I don't have anything named bin there at all. He also gets some different errors as a result of bin being missing it seems.
My repository contains (among many others) the following packages which would seem to be relevant:
anaconda-11.1.2.113-1.el5.centos.2.x86_64.rpm anaconda-runtime-11.1.2.113-1.el5.centos.2.x86_64.rpm busybox-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm busybox-anaconda-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm busybox-anaconda-1.2.0-4.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm
And while I'm here, another question:
What might cause this selinux error which gets generated (as seen above):
libsemanage.semanage_install_sandbox: genhomedircon returned error code 1.
If I point this same buildinstall command at a CentOS repo that contains all of the rpm's that CentOS normally ships with the build proceeds without error. No missing bin and no selinux error. So I must be missing an rpm. But I'm not sure which one and I need to get this paired down to a single CD so I can't just dump them all in.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
