Re: [Xen-devel] Easy Fedora rootfs recipe sought

[Adam Sulmicki <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

maybe i'm doing something wrong but it just does not seems to work for me.

first it was complainign that it could not find pgp keys, then it would 
complain that var/cache/yum does not exists.
comemnts?

it is how i try to do it :

rpm --root=/mnt/RHFC3 --import 
http://fedora.redhat.com/about/security/4F2A6FD2.txt
rpm --root=/mnt/RHFC3 --import 
http://fedora.redhat.com/about/security/30C9ECF8.txt
rpm --root=/mnt/RHFC3 --import 
http://fedora.redhat.com/about/security/1CDDBCA9.txt
mkdir -p /mnt/RHFC3/var/cache/yum
yum --installroot=/mnt/RHFC3 -y groupinstall Base

current error is :

        [root@mtdew rpm]# yum --installroot=/mnt/RHFC3 -y groupinstall Base
        Setting up Group Process
        Setting up Repo:  base
        Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base

[root@mtdew rpm]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)

ideas ?
