I didn't really mean to be such a smart ass in my reply and I did solve the problem by recompilining the kernel that get's installed on the boot floppy. I was just stressing that day due to a migraine.

On another note, however, there was still a problem (although not a show stopper). The final step of the install resulted in an error when a rsync attempt was made by the master script which tried to do something with the <systemimager root>/scripts/imaging_complete directory. (I think that is correct...I'm doing this from memory). Anyhow, supposedly it was supposed to do something with that file or directory and it couldn't because it didn't exist. Perhaps another packaging error in the RedHat RPMS?

Sorry about being terse... You have basically 3 choices.

1) Get the source figure out what is taking up the uneccessary space and
recompile, which you already said you didn't have time to do.   Or if
someone on the list has done this already for 3.2.0 then you are in luck.

2) Use dhcp with netboot. No floppy involved.

3) Downgrade to version 3.0.1 which will fit on a floppy.  And wait until
they check in a version of 3.2.x-i386boot-standard that will fit on a
floppy.

Thanks for stating the obvious. :) But is there a simple solution or do I have to create a custom kernel to use the mkautoinstalldiskette command?

the default image is too big to fit on a 1.44 MB floppy.

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: [Sisuite-users] mkautoinstalldiskette problem





I'm hoping that there is a simple solution to this problem.  The problem
I'm having is as follows:

I installed the RPMS for 3.2.0 on a RedHat 9 system and tried to use the
mkautoinstalldiskette command.  I select the standard kernel and it fails
everytime with an error (Could not copy
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/initrd.img to
/tmp/.autoinstalldiskette.4300!).

Are the RPMS for 3.2.0 on sourceforge no good?  I need this to work
quickly and don't want to have to recompile everything from source if I
can avoid it.

I would appreciate any help I can get to quickly resolve this.
