customizing fedora core1
by Sameer Kamat 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi, For creating a custom Fedora Core 1 distrinbution, is it necessary to have fedora core 1 installed. I have Redhat 9.0 on my machine. Can I use it as the environment to create my custom fedora cd. Will the utilities from redhat 9.0, anaconda-runtime etc, be compatible with FC1 distribution ? Thanks, Sameer.

There was some discussion about this on IRC earlier today I guess. My current opinion is that I'm sort of waiting to see how the userspace setup side pans out before committing to doing anything with this. If the userspace setup is simple enough that it's not going to change and it doesn't make the UI horrendously bad, I'm definitely not against adding it. Jeremy

Oh, hey, I meant that to go to the whole list. I'll attach it to this message again. Anyway, I'm not a hardcore python programmer either. I just ran /usr/lib/python2.3/profile.py /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder [...] -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

Hardware Information Offer

Hello all, During installation of Fedora Core 2, Anaconda did not recognize my monitor, although I was able to pick it out from the list provided (a KDS Avitron AV-7TF). Is there some means whereby I could give the developers the results of the monitor probing so that they could benefit from it? Let me know, I'm just trying to help.

pkgorder slow
by Brian Long 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Has anyone thought about profiling the "pkgorder" script in anaconda-runtime and tweaking it's routine to speed it up? Each time I run pkgorder on an RPM repository with > 1,000 RPMs, it takes 5+ minutes to run (the RPM repository is mounted GigE via TCP,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 from a Netapp). Any ideas on streamlining pkgorder? /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | Americas IT Hosting Sys Admin | .|||. .|||. Cisco Linux Developer | ..:|||||||:...:|||||||:..
