bootstrapping with yum

Bootstrap an install with YUM

This page contains instructions on bootstrapping a system using yum. These instructions are mostly the same as the Fedora quickstart page found here.

  • Create a new sparse file or filesystem for your root directory

(use your method of choice)

  • Create the needed devices for a yum bootstrap

# for i in console null zero ; do /sbin/MAKEDEV -d /mnt/dev -x $i ; done

  • Use this config file and bootstrap your image

# yum -c http://mirror.neverblock.com/community/cAos/caos-bootstrap.conf –installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall core
