This is the procedure I used to build my own version of Advanced Server from the SRPMS. I would be interested to know what potential problems can be encountered and the difference between the end result and the actual AS2.1 from RH. - Install RH7.2 on a machine, install all packages. - Download AS2.1 SRPMS from Red Hat mirror Note: IBM JRE/SDK have a commercial license. All other packages are non commercial. - Compile each package: rpmbuild --rebuild package.src.rpm Almost all packages build properly, a few changes the kernel SPEC file required to build the appropriate kernels. - Create a suitable directory tree, such as /home/redhat/2.1as/i386 and put the compiled RPM into i386/RedHat/RPMS directory - Get hold of the AS2.1 comps file, I used the one from the beta release http://ftp.sanguine.net/pub/sahughes/extras/rhl/beta/pensacola/redhat-7.1.91AS/en/os/i386/RedHat/base/comps - Generate hdlist files genhdlist /home/redhat/2.1as/i386 - Build installer buildinstall --pkgorder /home/redhat/2.1as/pkgorder.txt --version 2.1as /home/redhat/2.1as/i386 At this point, network installations can be performed To create ISOs: splitdistro --fileorder /home/redhat/2.1as/pkgorder.txt /home/redhat/2.1as i386 genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder /home/redhat/2.1as/pkgorder.txt /home/redhat/2.1as/i386-disc[12] mkisofs .....
