create repodata for a custom install DVD

2016-10-07 Thread Bill Askew
I have been searching for a howTo that provides the steps required to create 
the repodata on an install DVD.
I am using the SL 7.2 install DVD as a baseline and removing the unneeded 
packages then am using a kickstart file to do the install.
This works fine without updating the repodata however if I want to add packages 
or replace packages with new packages I believe I would need to rebuild the 
repodata the match the new packages.
Thanks


SL 7.2 on a HP Zbook

2016-10-07 Thread Bill Askew
Hi everyone
I am using SL 7.2 on a HP Zbook.  So far the only issue that I have is setting 
the date and time does not set the Zbook's hardware clock.  It does change the 
time for the duration of the session but when the ZBook is rebooted the time 
goes back to what it was before plus the amount of time I spent during the 
session.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks

The hwclock --systohc worked thanks!  :-)

Still kind of odd that the date command does not cause the date and time to the 
hardware clock when shutting down 
(this is how it works on a Lenovo T61p running SL 6.2)

Hi Yasha
It is a Zbook 15 G2.
Ken and Mark put me on the right path.
We use our laptops unconnected to any networks.  Previous to RHEL 7 the system 
clock was saved to the hardware clock on shutdown or reboot by default. However 
NTP does sync the system and hardware clocks.  Since we do not use NTP no 
synchronization happens.

I am using SL 7.2x on a HP Zbook without this issue.  Which model?  Mine 
is several years old and thus might be different from yours.
