Greetings,

I am looking for resources on how to build my own Centos install CD for a preselected package set that I want to install. I think Red Hat may have had this functionality at some point but it has been a while since I have needed to do this.

I found this on how to build my own kernel - http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules - which I will need to exercise as well, but I want to build my own .iso that I can run a kickstart or similar mechanism from.

Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I used these 2 sites to help me. It did take quite a bit of trial and error to get it right. Do not forget to edit comps.xml to take out the packages that you do not want and add your new packages. (Why CentOS installs bluetooth packages by default is well beyond me...)

Hope this helps John
