How to create a single Centos 5.1 DVD for fast and easy customized installation

Setting up the build directory:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

mkdir /isobuild

rsync -rv /mnt /isobuild

We also need to copy across the .diskinfo file that is not caught by our *: cp /mnt/disk1/.diskinfo /data/isobuild/

The .diskinfo file identifies the CD as being a correct Red Hat installer disk and is checked by anaconda during the start of the install.

We could now build the DVD as it is but we really should have a fiddle first :-)
