Hi there:
A couple of guys and I started the Anaconda Documentation Project. Unfortunately the twiki we used was exploited and is offline right now. We are working on a solution and will let the list now as soon as we are up and running again.

I started creating a respin yesterday. This morning I wrote some scripts to take an the stock fc4 RPMs and unpack them and then pack them back up again.
It's still a work in progress so probably I made some mistakes. But hopefully it's a bit useful if you're just starting.
mkdir /respin take every fc4 cd and do this dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/respin/fc4_cd1.iso save all the attached scripts to /respin ./unpack-repack.sh

hello Alex and others, I am ready to contribute the documentation I have prepared. The updated version is available at : http://lal.bizhat.com/docs/anaconda.html . The older version is already available on the wiki. I intend to move this to a wiki, which I'll setup sooner.
regards Manilal
On FC4 there isn't a /usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py. What do we use instead?

I guess you have to run
pkgorder and gendhdlist twice.
pkgorder $BASE/fedora-custom ppc Fedora > fedora-custom/pkgorder.txt genhdlist --productpath=Fedora $BASE/fedora-custom pkgorder $BASE/fedora-custom ppc Fedora | tee $BASE/fedora-custom/pkgorder.txt genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder $BASE/fedora-custom/pkgorder.txt \ --productpath=Fedora $BASE/fedora-custom
This web page is pretty excelent. http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/development/howto-insta...
I've split my unpack and repack scripts into 2. Obviously inbetween unpacking and repacking you need to make whatever changes you want.
The problem I'm running into now is that the splittree.py script is putting pwlib for x86_64 onto disc2 but the installer is still looking for it on disc1. I'm not sure what the issue is there...
