> There may be several reasons for making your own CDs. Perhaps you're a
|
|
cheapskate and want to save the cost of the
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://www.redhat.com/"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>Red Hat distribution</A
|
|
>. Or, perhaps
|
|
you want to include in your CDs the latest distribution with all the current
|
|
updates. This is highly relevant, because after each major release of the
|
|
Red Hat distribution, there have been loads of updates, several of which
|
|
are security related. Just take a look at the
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/errata"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>errata page</A
|
|
>.
|
|
Or maybe you want to customize the default installation adding a few
|
|
packages not present in the default tree and unselecting the installation
|
|
of some packages which are otherwise included in the default setup.
|
|
</P

|
|
> This is what you will be taught in the next sections (hopefully). I will use the
|
|
i386 architecture and releases 7.3, 8.0 and 9 of the distribution in the examples. The
|
|
notes related to the previous releases (<=6.1) were contained in a previous version of
|
|
this document and were compiled by the original authors. The notes related to release
|
|
6.2 are based on tests I've not completed (and I don't know if I ever will) and some
|
|
documents you can find linked in the <A
|
|
HREF="this-document.html#RELATED-DOC"
|
|
>Related documentation</A
|
|
> section.
|
|
The procedure given in the following sections for RedHat 7.3 and 8.0 is likely to work
|
|
on all platforms supported by Red Hat (Alpha, ppc, etc.), for all the 7.x (and maybe 8.x/9
|
|
in a not too far future) releases, but I have only tested it on the i386 platform with
|
|
Redhat Linux 7.3, 8.0 and 9 (I would be interested in additional information).
