Yes, I've add: repo --name=foo --baseurl=file:///root/temp4 I then received an error regarding a missing LICENSE.html. I created a blank file for that and the error went away and moblin-image-creator proceeded running through the list of the 755 packages in the image.
It then fails afterward trying to locate the kernel. I've also replaced the reference to kernel-netbook with the name of my kernel. I've tried several variants on the name (kernel.2.6.29*, kernel-2.6.29.2netbook-18.i386.rpm, kernel-2.6.29.2netbook-18.i386) because I'm not sure in the original kernel-netbook is mapped to the actual rpm. What I'd like to know: 1. What are the steps used to create the moblin repository? Createrepo and repoview seem to be part of the steps. 2. What are the explicit command lines for these tools? I know createrepo needs to be done with the -d option. Anything else? 3. How is the LICENSE.html file being generated in the repository to make moblin-image-creator's call into kickstart happy? 4. Any other tools used in the creation of the moblin repository?

The image boots up fine on my netbook. I can also download netbook kernel sources and build it just fine. How would one create a liveusb image that includes and uses my custom built kernel? I notice in moblin-image-creator there are options, --kernel-rpm-path, that may provide the functionality I want. However, these seem to be under the category of nand options, not liveusb. What is a nand image anyways? I've tried to do a createrepo/repoview around my kernel rpm and then pointing to it in my kickstart file (.ks) fed into moblin-image-creator. I can't seem to figure out quite what is needed to get that to work. I'm considering copying the entire moblin repo locally and substituting my kernel, but copying megabytes of files seem like overkill. Any ideas?
