Hi Kristinn,
great work, thanx a lot! Due to the fact that the list changed its
address without any warning while i was on holydays, i have missed some
mails, so some of my comments may be dupe :-( I only checked your
centos4 image, so i do not know if an issue hit's the centos4 image
only, or FC3/RH9 too, or all.
If there's some need, i would volunteer to maintain a minimal FC3 image.
Here's my feedback:
Centos4 (FC3/RH9?) image: what about ...
* a _minimal_ image, that means only bootup, login & yum must work.
Everything else can be installed via yum. So the only packages which
are really necessary are vim-{enhanced|minimal}, rootfiles, gnupg,
openssh-server, passwd, shadow-utils, yum and their dependencies.
* rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4/os/i386/RPM-GPG-KEY
to make yum work?
* adding "shadow" to the line "password sufficient .. pam_unix.so .."
in /etc/pam.d/system-auth and calling "pwconv; grpconv" to enable
shadow passwords?
* > /etc/resolv.conf
* echo "localhost 127.0.0.1" > /etc/hosts
All images: what about ...
* creating sparse images and compressing them via "tar cjSf ..."
ending up in smaller .tar.bz2 instead of .bz2?
* naming the uncompressed images .ext3 instead of .img?
Regards, /nils.
