Hi,

I'm trying to customize the Fedora installer for my orgs use.
The idea is we have apps that we want to include in the fedora cd/dvd installer,
we only need it for our own, not for the whole fedora distribution.


What I've tried so far is pungi, and yes, I was able to produce an updated installer.
the only problem that i have now is i dont know which files to modify to add our app in the package selection

can someone point me to a document that i should read to carry out our plan?

or is this really possible?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Amir

Packages show up in the package selection area based on entries in the comps
file. The comps file for the installer is created on the fly by pungi, but
merging together the comps metadata out of all the yum repos used to create
the spin. I've done some fairly extensive package selection changes myself by
simply putting the comps file I wanted into a private yum repo w/my custom
packages. Not sure if its particularly well documented anywhere, but its
definitely doable. Google around for MythDora (version 5) to see an example
of a modified F8 installer.
