check out the kickstart menu option (menu -> system tools), also there's alot of
kickstart documentation on redhat.com's doc webpage... that's the direction you
want to head in.
also, you'd probably want to change the yum.conf that comes with fedora core to point
to your own yum mirror...
use the ftpcopy program to mirror someone else's yum repository and host it on your
own web site.
also, to make things easier for you and your customers, check out
www.fedora.us,
they're the inspiration for the redhat fedora core, have apt and synaptic as a part of
your installation, that way your customers can more easily update their systems.

Subject: Make a distro from installation
Guys I am sure I has bee discussed before,
Where do you get the docs on how I can turn my current installation into
a distro.
Basiclly what I must have is a recovery cd.
But I am unsure of which route to take.
I have not added any thing to the distro except for some drivers.
and run some updates on the existing packages.
It will be used for mass production of pcs aimed at the home-user
market.
We have about 10 different specs and I have incorporated into my "image"
support for all the systems. In other words I have one hard drive and It
works on plugin with a few hardware changes detected by kudza on ten
different spec systems. I have a few kernels in in grub. One is the
stock FC1 and the other two are the amd 64 and intel 64 and the smp. We
will just edit the grub.conf for the relevant spec and remove the
unwanted entries
So any ideas would be appreciated,
What we aim to do here is give the client a set of cds free with the
system that he/she purchases and if they bugger up the system then they
can simply reload from the cds.
They will obviously get advice telephonically. The idea is to have a
std disc that my support techs can learn to use for a system re-install
/ recovery / repair both telephonically and onsite.
