Anaconda PLD Linux notes
Anaconda installer
Creating livecd
Start by creating the Live CD root. Necessary steps are described at Linux Live.
Next install the anaconda package into the new root:
# poldek -r /path/to/root -U anaconda
Tou will need to load all the necessary file system modules, so put the following into /path/to/root/etc/modules:
ext2 ext3 jfs reiser4 reiserfs xfs
Also make sure the kbd package is installed and configured to start consoles in UTF-8 locale.
Then proceed with the rest of the steps and create an ISO image.
Creating repodata
As the installer will depend on repodata, you'll need to create repodata in your PLD Linux Distribution mirror.
cd dists/ac/PLD/i686 umask 2 createrepo -g comps.xml -c /tmp/cache1 -v PLD/RPMS/
NOTE: Currently PLD Linux AC and TH already have repodata on ftp.
Invoking anaconda
After you've successfully booted from livecd and logged into root shell, invoke anaconda:
# cat /root/anaconda-install export LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 mirror=http://your-mirror/pld arch=`arch` url=$mirror/dists/ac/PLD/$arch/ anaconda --method=$url
This will just autodetect your archidecture and invoke anaconda install from url.
