Hello mail list

Forgive me if i doble post, coz my first attetemt didnt go through

Im trying to include a new selection in "Installation type" in the anaconda installer when installing Centos 4.3 I have successfull made a inclution of "my" rpms when installing the OS, by modifying the the base group in the file comps.xml

But what im trying to do is make a new selection in the Installation window [where you choose Server, desktop, custom..]

I need some guidance about this topic, any help would be appriciated

take a look at the installclasses/ stuff inside anaconda, if you dont want to rebuild the installer, you can just drop updated .py files into an updates.img ( which goes into the /CentOS/base/ directory.

Also, if you are hosting another project on the CentOS distro, let us know so we can then list you on the www.centos.org website.

Below is what I edited in the installclasses/server.py, so if I just put that back in to stage2.img, then I would see a different txt when Im in the Installation type windows, and it would install the base group from the comps.xml.

############ FILE START ########### from installclass import BaseInstallClass from rhpl.translate import * from constants import * import os import iutil

class InstallClass(BaseInstallClass):

# name has underscore used for mnemonics, strip if you dont need it id = "server" name = N_("_MY server") pixmap = "myserver.png" description = N_("Select this installation type if you would like to " "set up Myserver community edition. ")

sortPriority = 5 showLoginChoice = 1

def setSteps(self, dispatch): BaseInstallClass.setSteps(self, dispatch);

def setGroupSelection(self, grpset, intf): BaseInstallClass.__init__(self, grpset)

def setInstallData(self, id): BaseInstallClass.setInstallData(self, id)

def __init__(self, expert): BaseInstallClass.__init__(self, expert)

############ FILE END ###########

I have no experience with python...
