[CentOS] Install CentOS based distro

2007-12-04 Thread Mário Gamito
Hi,

I'm making a dedicated distribution based on CentOS 5.1

My doubt is about the installation of the new distro.

I was thinking about a (K)ubuntu kind of way: the CD/DVD boots, a
graphical interface appears with an Install button, just a click on it
 and then just wait to finish.

Now, I'd like to avoid building RPMs for my added software. Is this
possible this way ?

Other suggestions are welcome.

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

Hi I would actually recommend that you do create your own RPMS.  RPMS 
are the package management system that works best with CentOS.   It can 
seem daunting at first but really isn't that hard once you have done it 
a couple of times.


One other comment I will make is that depending on your needs Fedora may 
be a better choice as a lot of tools have come out that support creating 
your own distribution.  In particular things like Revisor.


Good luck
