Can anyone point me to info on how to build fedora (v2) on a bootable DVD, including adding an extra network driver...
Problem: Dell Optiplex GX280 uses a broadcom 57xx driver that is not on the fedora CD. The driver is 2meg, so won't fit on a floppy. This kills my theory of installation via a NFS kickstart server I have setup. (with some post-install scripts). Is it possible/sensible to build a PC by hand and then create an image of it? Then somehow put that on a DVD and somehow transfer it to each hard disk? (sort of like using Ghost...) I don't have control over an authorised DCHP server, so I don't think PXE booting is an option. This does not seem to have enough detail for what I want: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/cd-roms.html Would something like this work? [do this with all 4 fedora cds] cp -r <path-to-cd>/ /fedora2fulldir [compile network driver and place in correct sub dir] cd /fedora2fulldir chmod u+w isolinux/* mkisofs -o file.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot \ -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T isolinux/ \ -graft-points "/=/fedora2fulldir" - Using ideas from: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCDBurn.html Also, if I go to this much trouble, should I replace the current base packages with the current versions - rather than repatch each system?
