I have a task to customize Scientific Linux. I am wondering if anyone
has instructions corresponding somewhat to the following two web paged
from CentOS 4.3. It might be that these two pages work for Scientific
Linux too. I do notice a variation of CentOS comp.xml in SL, in fact two
of them. I assume the contrib comp.xml variation is not for the basic
installation of SL.

Ok here are the two CentOS 4.3 web pages that tell how to customize a
CentOS 4.3 installation. Are there any similar instructions for SL?

http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/A_Kickstart_CD_for_sipX_on_CentOS
#Creating_a_Custom_Installer There is a customizing section in this
document. I had to hack to get some of the commands to work, and never
did get the pkgorder command to work.

http://cablemodem.fibertel.com.ar/lateral/stories/38.html gave some
hints that were not in the previous customization web page. Again, I
never did get the pkgorder command to work.

I wonder if contrib has something for customization. I will look.

A MUCH BIGGER question is where can I find a lists that compare rpms for
RedHat 9, CentOS 4.3, and Scientific Linux 5.0.

I know how to edit the various comp.xml (unless the SL comp-SL.xml and
the other comp.xml's differ quite a bit), but I really need to know
which rpms of these Linux OS are the same, but named differently, or are
similar and are replaced in Scientific Linux with other rpms. This is
really my BIG question.

I am a newbie, so I hope I have followed the correct etiquette. If I am
looking on the wrong mailing list, please let me know. 

I don't know if I should sign my name or alias or if you already have my
name and e-mail. Many mailing list use just anonymous names for security
reasons.

Any information or help is very greatly appeared.

Thank you so very much!
