Just wondering...

Why not put a copy of genhdlist onto the distro disk in
RedHat/base/genhdlist ?  Very sensible place to put it.

What is the meaning of the --withnumbers switch... include the
package version and build numbers?

Why the (default) option _not_ to include this?

        (Ok, apologies, I haven't looked at the anaconda package
        where these questions are likely to be asked).


  Background... I've managed to figure out how to recreate 7.0 iso
  images, quite easy really.  Drop in the replacements into both
  iso build trees, grab genhdlist binary out of the anaconda rpm (easy to
  do with something like midnight commander), figure out how
  genhdlist now works (wow, it now gives a little usage screen!:),
  use it to recreate RedHat/base/hdlist, then create the iso images
  for burning.  No drama at all.  I did all this on a redhat 6.2
  box.

Cheers
Tony
