Redhat Enterprise Linux
 
Hello
A few days ago i was really board and didnt have any thing to do, so i was looking around on google for how to make a update CD for redhat 9. I found a HOWTO on rebuilding RedHat enterprise linux form the source. I dont really need it, because on my server i've got whitebox enterprise linux, but i got interested and decided to make my own.

I downloaded all the update SRPMS and the normal SRPMS from a mirror of the redhat ftp.

I started building the SRPS but then my baby bro. when to my server and switched it off :( (now i put tape on top of the switch so he can't hehehe)

I was about to start building it again but then I started to lookthrough the files and saw that there are some SRPMS that have diffrences because they are desigend for diffrend types of rhel (WS, AS, ES). So i got abit more interested and decided to make AS and WS.

But i dont know which of the SRPMS WS has And Which of them AS has.

So i was wondering if any one knows when i can get a list of the RPMS in both?

Thanks in advanced :D :D :D

all new, now. check out the mirrors on wbel3 respin 1.
it may make all your problems obsolete. or redundant. go to whiteboxlinux.org if you don't have fast stuff.
luck -O

edit:
just make sure you know what yer doing. WBEL3 Respin 1 is no joke. if you are a sysadmin this is the best thing to happen to you especially if you are a RedHat fan. if not, take care. i'm not and learned the hard way. Kernel 2.6.7 is difficult to customize to WhiteBox, but do-able as to RedHat's SRPMs? why bother? you already have WBEL. you'd have to "backstep" (--force obsolete files your system).
and that's Wierd. Dumb, too. Are you in India? i heard you guys are are making almost 11 dollars a day. Awesome.. Har...
luck -O

i want 2 do it cause i got 2 months break b4 i go into collage and i cant think of anything 2 do.

I found a list of the RPMS in both AS and WS

Im not a sysadmin but im a redhat fan :D

lol i tried to make kernel 2.6 work with whitebox aswell. Went compleatly wrong, but i think thats because i missed somethings i was supposed to do.

I managed to build all the SRPMS and and starting to cutomise the installed, buuuuuut i just removed somefing from my system that i dont think i was supposed to + i dont know wot that was, luck for me i copyed everything to my other computer.

Im not in India im the the UK.
