If you want to eliminate internet access after the OS install - kickstart a minimal base - login & rpm -qa | sort > pkgfile - set the yum cache to save all yum installed packages - run packstack & anything else you need to install - save all the packages from the yum cache - add the rpms listed in the pkgfile to that store - run createrepo against it to create your private repo Now kickstart another base put the private repo somewhere create a repo file pointing at the private with file:// I'd suggest putting the original repo files on, but disabled. If you need a yum update beyond what's on the DVD, you can enable them and get them over the net as needed. > > On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 11:26 AM, sad man <asadxflow(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > >> Thanks a lot, So you are suggesting that I add RDO packages in ISO and >> integrate packstack with Anaconda instead of writing my own OpenStack >> installer script? >> >> On 18 June 2015 at 15:52, Haïkel <hguemar(a)fedoraproject.org&gt; wrote: >> >>> Yeah, but configuring your OpenStack deployment from raw packages may >>> be tricky and >>> you won't be able to finish your GSoC if you go that path. >>> >>> Packstack is quite reliable and it will handle most of errors.
