OK, I am trying to use umlbuilder and I am sort of confused still. It says you need to have a directory of RPMs where it can look to build your distro or something like that. Where do you download these rpms? Im doing RH8 for now and have gone to a mirror ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/redhat/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ Is this what you mean by getting the rpms? Do I need them all, what is the minimum? Is anything shared with the host? I promise when I know what I am doing Ill write a book for this to fend off people like myself. Ron |

UML Builder can't do the install directly from the distro CDs (it is way too complicated and error prone). Consequently it needs all the RPMs in one directory. You can either copy them off the CDs, or download them. > Where do you download these rpms?

You can use wget to grab all of them, although it will be about 1.8GB of stuff, so you'll probably want to get them via an alternative means. > Is this what you mean by getting the rpms? Yes. > Do I need them all, what is the minimum? If you have the CDs, it is easiest to grab them all. If you really want a minimum set, you'll need to look in /usr/lib/uml/umlbuilder/profiles/Redhat8.0.p and note which ones are needed for whichever modules you want. You'll actually need more than that, since some of those will have dependencies on others. It will take a fair amount of trial and error. > Is anything shared with the host? No, because that is the way that UML works. Although if your host is Redhat 8, then you will have the CDs and hence the RPMs. If you want to 'reuse' the host kernel and software, a solution like http://www.freevsd.org/ may suit you better. > I promise when I know what I am doing Ill write a book for this to fend > off people like myself. I'd love to update the UML Builder documentation to make things clearer! Please email me the bits you think can be improved. Roger |

You are correct, wrong list. I do not have the disc rpms, I have iso, so I need to still download the rpms. I am downloading everything and trying it tonight. Ill see what happens. Thanks alot.

I am downloading everything and > trying it tonight. Ill see what happens. Thanks alot. If you've already got the ISO images, then why not just mount them as loop back and copy the RPMs off? That has to be an order of magnitude faster tahn downloading 1.8GB again. > > Ron > > > On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 00:06, Roger Binns wrote: > > > OK, I am trying to use umlbuilder and I am sort of confused still. > > > > You should post UML Builder issues to the UML Builder mailing > > lists.
