Okay, I know, I've replied to my own post twice now, but I wanted to get this into the archives. The process that I detailed above works, with one exception. In step #4 above, the cp -r does not copy hidden files. This means that you have to manually copy the /.discinfo from RH9 CD1 to the temporary directory before making the iso image. Otherwise it doesn't install. Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
