        RedHat/base/hdlist

Assuming you are setting up this to do a mkisofs for a cdrom
image, or for NFS/ftp installs...

        cd /<path to base dir of image>
        ./misc/src/anaconda/utils/genhdlist `pwd`

This will rebuild RedHat/base/hdlist according to what rpm packages
are found in RedHat/RPMS/

This needs to be done any time the rpm packages in RedHat/RPMS/
change.
