As usual, I had to post this to the list before I would be able to discover the problem myself only minutes later despite having worked the issue for hours previously. I stumbled upon this page: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/wiki/Anaconda/BuildinstallPackageRequirements Which documents what is required for buildinstall to work. I ran down the list copying in everything that I was missing which turned out to be fairly extensive: beecrypt-4.1.2-10.1.1.x86_64.rpm bogl-0.1.18-11.2.1.el5.1.x86_64.rpm bogl-bterm-0.1.18-11.2.1.el5.1.x86_64.rpm comps-extras-11.1-1.1.el5.centos.noarch.rpm elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5.x86_64.rpm esound-0.2.36-3.x86_64.rpm fonts-ISO8859-2-* gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-25.el5.x86_64.rpm gnome-python2-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm gnome-python2-canvas-2.16.0-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm krb5-libs-1.6.1-25.el5.x86_64.rpm libacl-2.2.39-3.el5.x86_64.rpm libart_lgpl-2.3.17-4.x86_64.rpm libattr-2.4.32-1.1.x86_64.rpm libgnome-2.16.0-6.el5.x86_64.rpm libgnomecanvas-2.14.0-4.1.x86_64.rpm libjpeg-6b-37.x86_64.rpm libstdc++-4.1.2-42.el5.x86_64.rpm libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.1.x86_64.rpm libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2.1.x86_64.rpm lvm2-2.02.32-4.el5.x86_64.rpm ncurses-5.5-24.20060715.x86_64.rpm newt-0.52.2-10.el5.x86_64.rpm openssl-0.9.8b-10.el5.x86_64.rpm pam-0.99.6.2-3.27.el5.x86_64.rpm popt-1.10.2-48.el5.x86_64.rpm pygtk2-2.10.1-12.el5.x86_64.rpm python-2.4.3-21.el5.x86_64.rpm pyxf86config-0.3.31-2.fc6.x86_64.rpm redhat-artwork-5.1.0-26.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm rhpl-0.194.1-1.x86_64.rpm sed-4.1.5-5.fc6.x86_64.rpm slang-2.0.6-4.el5.x86_64.rpm tcp_wrappers-7.6-40.4.el5.x86_64.rpm urw-fonts-2.3-6.1.1.noarch.rpm vnc-server-4.1.2-9.el5.x86_64.rpm I'm not sure which ones exactly solved the specific problems I asked about before but the bin directory gets created and the anaconda/busybox stuff now works. The SE Linux related error also went away. So now I have to ask the next question before I can stumble across the answer myself: The above url lists packages required for both character (text) and graphical installs. I really only want to do a text install and would prefer to remove all of the X related stuff. But I don't see how to make buildinstall omit the graphical stuff. Anyone know?
