Ok, I did the perl modules, and also mkisofs and sendmail which may not
be in a VM either. (The rest is really part of core distros).

I've now been able to generate RPMs for quite a lot of distro. The only
one for which I have a pb I need to see is fedora 7 (my VM may have
something wrong BTW, need to check).

Could some of you please check whether it works also for them ? (I know
that the removal of packages needs more work, again more on that later
on).

Short instructions:
1/ Download packages from ftp://ftp.project-builder.org/ under which
you'll find one directory per distro (fedora mandrake mandriva redhat rhel
sles suse) and below one directory per version (e.g. under mandriva 2005
2006.0 2007.0 2007.1 2008.0). You have normaly 1 main package to
download (linuxcoe-sd-base-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm) and 11 other
optional packages depending on what delivery you want to setup:
linuxcoe-sd-data-centos-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-debian-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-fedora-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-nld-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-opensuse-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-rhel-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-scientific-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-sles-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-suse-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-data-ubuntu-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
linuxcoe-sd-docs-4.1-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm

2/ After having done your rpm -ivh, you have to install the boot images
content in addition under /etc/linuxcoe-sd/images. Get them from
http://www.instalinux.com/snapshots/images/ More details in
/var/www/linuxcoe-sd/images/README

3/ Celebrate ;-)

At least, for me it is now as simple as that.

Next step is to produce .deb packages, but may be later in December, as
I need now to work on a LinuxCOE training with my packages ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the US.
Bruno.
