To answer my own question (not sure if this is good or bad ;-)): I got the the idea of using "growisofs" for adding (in my case) a kickstart file and then running "implantisomd5" again. This seems to work (I only tested it with KVM with CD-ROM ISO files). Example: growisofs -U -J -R -T -M Fedora-15-x86_64-DVD.iso ks.cfg implantisomd5 Fedora-15-x86_64-DVD.iso This is pretty straightforward and easy. Are there any caveats in manipulating the ISO image this way? -- -- Jos Vos <[email protected]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- buildsys mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/buildsys
