[Server-devel] xs on cd

2008-12-12 Thread Tony Anderson
Hi,

At OLENepal, we are using a USB stick to install XS on the servers. We 
have created a 'boot cd' which installs XS from the USB stick when the
server is unable to boot from CD. This saves have to reburn CD's.

We are using XS-0.4 as the base for the server configuration (NEXS). 
This is documented at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLE_Nepal:Schoolserver. 
Unfortunately, the details on building the CD are not yet in the Wiki.
Prithak Sharma at OLENepal (prit...@olenepal.org) should be able to 
supply them.

Tony


But going forward, and since I'm looking at possibly installing XS 0.5 on

Reuben, is there an /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew present on your box? If so, did
you modify your /etc/yum.conf prior to the upgrade in anyway?

### OLPC School server yum configuration

###   After editing the master file, do
###
###  `make -f xs-config.make `
###
### Also see /usr/share/doc/xs-config-/README for more
### details, including how to RECOVER changes you have made if

cachedir=/var/cache/yum

# PUT YOUR REPOS IN separate files named file.repo in...
reposdir=/etc/yum.repos.olpc.d

### NOTE that we use an alternative

### is not enabled.


That is the old yum.conf from F7, don't think the test "$SHA1SUM =
$BADSHA1SUM" to move the yum.conf.rpmnew to yum.conf was matched.
