I'm trying to add a few things to the install DVD for SL 4.5 x86_64. I
downloaded all 6 of the SL 4.5 CD ISO images. Used the notes on the SL site
to combine all the CD's into one DVD and that worked fine. I can boot,
install, rescue, etc. from this DVD. Now I'm trying to add some drivers,
modules, etc. to the DVD so I've got everything I need in one place and
don't have to have a floppy for drivers, etc..
I had some problems with the build environment. I did some Google
searching and found out all the system scripts were expecting none of the
`LC_' language environmental variables to be set or at least not set to
anything but "en_US.UTF-8". I corrected that problem. The build and DVD
burn all seem to go ok. Rescue mode seems fine and all my additions seem
to be there. The problem comes when I try to install SL from scratch.
Everything seems to work fine up to and including the point where one
sets the initial firewall parameters and SELinux. At this point the install
stops and gives me a popup window with the following errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Google searching says this is the language environmental variable
setting problem I thought I had fixed. I've been beating on this for a
couple of weeks now and don't know where to go from here. Anyone here have
any ideas?
I have the anacdump.txt file, which includes the /tmp/syslog,
/tmp/anaconda.log, and /tmp/lvmout logs. The anaconda.log shows the last
thing Anaconda was working on was:
moving (1) to step languagesupport
While `buildinstall' is running, the `upd-instroot' script gives some
errors/warnings during the 'Creating bogl font..' section. It executes the
following command:
find /tmp/treedir/instimage/usr/share/locale -name '*.mo' -exec msgunfmt '{}' ';'
and I see the following:
error -1 at position 2325299 (bytes: 16 Used chars: 1202 (2325299 processed)
find: msgunfmt terminated by signal 13
The last line repeated 209 times. If I try that type of command manually on
the system files, it seems to work with out errors. Next I get:
gzip: /tmp/treedir/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/loader/font.bgf.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)?
I type `y' and things seem to proceed fine. Later I see 2 more warnings in
`upd-instroot' complaining about `/tmp/treedir/image-template/lib' and
`/tmp/treedir/instimage/lib' not existing, but it presses on. After that,
everything seems to run fine, although there are thousands of lines in the
output most of which I have no clue what is going on.
If any one has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help.
