Re: Adding packages for Fedora Core 3 kickstart install...

Excellent! Thank you Phillip....

This worked with one slight modification. pkgorder requires 2 
parameters to be fed to it: <path> <arch>

Also it appears there are still some path dependencies that are as yet 
configurable. You can see my base dir below is /home/websites/fc3. Here 
are the contents of that dir:

drwxr-xr-x  5 jwigdahl jwigdahl  4096 Nov 22 10:40 Fedora
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root     root         1 Nov 18 10:08 i386 -> .
drwxr-xr-x  3 jwigdahl jwigdahl  4096 Nov 12 13:41 images
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root     root         6 Nov 22 10:45 RedHat -> Fedora

Note the i386 and RedHat symlinks. These appear to be required for my 
setup.

My final working routine:

BASE=/home/websites/fc3
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --productpath Fedora $BASE
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder $BASE 
i386 > /tmp/fc3.pkgorder
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder 
/tmp/fc3.pkgorder --productpath Fedora $BASE
