I would not disagree. But it did give me some "hints," at least what resulted. I was considering writing a partial replacement, just for the Diskless and Thin Client portions.

Maybe not. But I need something working for RHEL 5. If I can reuse some things (like the flash boot+checker), then great. If not, oh well.

Agreed. Which is why I just wanted to take "what works" in the "Stateless Tech Preview" in RHEL 5.2 (5.1+) and make a more LiveCD/mayflower-like approach. Use Anaconda to install to a directory, then post-process the initrd for Diskless, disk (including boot+update check), ISO, etc...

And it is quite old. Exactomundo. I'm looking at, essentially, Fedora Core 6 (maybe a few Fedora 7 things if I'm lucky). Which brings me back to my "I need a solution, and I'll hack it out." So I'm just looking for comments, etc... I wish RHEL 6 was even in pre-Beta, but I do not believe it is. -- Bryan J Smith - Senior Consultant - Red Hat GPS SE US mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (non-RH/ext to Blackberry) ----------------------------------------------------- For every dollar you spend on Red Hat solutions, you not only fund the leading community development re- source, but you receive the #1 IT industry leader in corporate value. http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/ -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
