Hi.. The past couple of days I wrote a perl script that does all of this..
Basically you build a machine how you want -- with the right packages and
what not.. Then from another host, you run my script--it then ssh's to
your pre-built machine, gets the names of all the rpms installed on it,
copies those rpms from a directory, copies some kickstart files, isolinux
files, and RedHat/base directory, then run's mkisofs and gives you your cd
image.
My mkisofs looks like this :
mkisofs -r -J -T -v -V "RHEL/3 i386" -A "RHEL/3 i386" -c
isolinux/boot.cat -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4
-boot-info-table -o isos/RHEL3AS-i386-disc1.iso temp_distro/
under temp_distro i have the following directories:
custom isolinux ksfiles RedHat
Custom is for specifialy files/packages/scripts/etc. ksfiles are for
kickstart files, isolinux is a modified copy of what is in isolinux on the
RH iso, and RedHat contains base/ and RPMS/.
