Hi all, I don't have access to a compute node to build right now (I may try to scrounge one up later this week when some co-workers return from vacation), but I was playing around today, and got all the way to the GUI with 5.1 on CentOS-5-x86_64. Here's what I did: - Installed oscar-repo-rhel-5-x86_64 from Branch (5.1a1r6810nightly-20080101) - Installed oscar-repo-common-rpms from Branch (5.1a1r6810nightly-20080101) - Grabbed oscar-repo-fc-6-x86_64 from Trunk (5.1a1r6810nightly-20080102), unpacked it, pulled out perl-Tk, and installed that (had to get it from fc-6, because all the RHEL tarballs in trunk are 0 byte files and fc-7 didn't seem to have it) - Added "centos" to line 74 of PackageSmart.pm - Copied the fc-8-x86_64.xml file in /opt/oscar/share/package_sets/Default/ to rhel-5-x86_64.xml (rhel-5-x86_64.xml did not exist; in retrospect, I probably should have copied rhel-4-x86_64; I'll do this next time). After all this, I just followed the steps in the "very basic HOWTO" in the nightly branch README, and I got through to the GUI, which has not happened before since I've been periodically poking 5.1 in the last two months. I will be happy to update again once I can dig up a compute node and get around to trying to build and install a client image. Just figured I'd pass on the news that CentOS 5 x86_64 *appears* to be coming along as the other pieces are falling into place. --Joe
