Obviously, there is a missing character in the command included above - you want "cat > .discinfo", not "at > .discinfo" Also, it turns out that my statement about the install tree isn't entirely true. If the packages specified are installable and all requirements are met, only .discinfo is needed, but if there are unresolved dependencies in the package set, the installer will fail horribly unless base/comps.xml and the hdlist files are also present. Also, in that case, "--tree=." won't work, either; apparently, an absolute path is required for comps.xml to be found, so you need "--tree=`pwd`" or similar. This report is filed against a product which is no longer supported. It is very likely that the problem is resolved in the current version of Fedora Core or scheduled to be resolved with the new system-config-packages scheduled to land in Fedora Core 5. |
