Michael,
Thanks for the last two messages. Your slinky scripts are well-written and easy to follow, and I realized that I needed to adjust the details in the files in slinky_devel/DISK2/second_stage_scripts/9/. You are correct - it's the dependencies between RPMs that makes me a bit crazy!

Regards,
CDRigby

Bien fait!

I am just sitting down now to generate an iso image of all of the
update rpms (including all architectures) so I will post it on the
server.

If you get a chance (not before the conference, mind you) could you
post here your list of installed rpms by issuing something like

rpm -qa | sort > marco.rpms


If you are having trouble figuring out the dependencies for a group of packages, you can try something like this:

cd /dir/containing/all/of/your/packages/*.rpm
mkdir /tmp/testdb
rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/testdb
rpm --test --dbpath /tmp/testdb -Uvh *.rpm

This will run rpm in test mode using an empty database. Any unmet dependencies will be reported, nothing will be installed. Just keep adding packages to your .rpm directory and running the test again until rpm stops complaining. This is how I determine the slinky file lists.
