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

You will need to load all the necessary file system modules, so put the following into /path/to/root/etc/modules:

dm-mod
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.
