Hi,

Sorry for such late answer, but I tried to figured it out on my own (I
hate to admit it but I failed :(.). I prefer revisor/pungi way of making
iso because, it allow me to make iso from "bare" repo, and it fitted
perfectly my pipelines. But because time is short and making not working
isos is time consuming I assumed, that change SL5.11 iso might be better
way.

After a few tries My iso get SIGSEGV after checking(first test in
installation process) ISO, or bad context for repodata without checking it.

Mark - I would appreciate any help, working script especially :), it
might save me a few days of searching/reading/scripting.

Oleg - Thanks for your help, I saved our scripts, and in case of further
failures I will make it your sane way, i.e. making iso from scratch.

All Best,
Alex
