That's not really a clear question - it can be taken three ways. IIRC the actual installer is proprietary. That's basically the value added by RedHat, Suse, et al - their hardware probe and install routines. So I suppose you could write your own that then drove the standard rpm based routines.
Now if you're looking to build a Linux instance from a collection of RPMs, check into umlbuilder. I know it can build a UML instance from the raw RPMs from the RedHat CDs. It handles the dependencies and ordering to produce a disk image for UML booting. If you're looking to script a RedHat install from the actual RedHat cds, then I think 'kickstart' is what you want to look for. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/ch-kick start2.html (Isn't it so easy to find something on the web when you know the magic search term? And so hard when you don't??) -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Pietro Bandera Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 8:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] [OT] how to make a linux install cd Hi all Sorry for the OT..but i'm lookin all over the net in order to find a good how to for making a linux install based on the red hat rpm packages....and i DON'T FIND ANY!
