Hello Rahul
I came across your presentation while searching the Internet for information on creating custom spins of Fedora. I am trying to create a minimal spin with a pf_ring patched kernel of Fedora 9 for i386. I have successfully created a patched kernel RPM. Now, I am facing problems while creating an ISO with the pf_ring patched kernel included in it. Any suggestions or guidelines on the procedure to do this will be very helpful. I used Pungi to create a custom spin but, it doesn't install the patched kernel at all.
Well, Fedora 9 is EOL'ed and won't be getting any security updates and I would recommend using Fedora 11 instead. However the procedure is fairly simple.
* Take the very latest kernel srpm in the the Fedora release you choose and modify it to add your patch, bump up the kernel revision and put in a folder. run createrepo -d on the folder which will create a custom yum repository with the custom kernel in it.
* Modify the kickstart file to add this custom repo. something like
repo --name=kernel-foo --baseurl=file:///path/to/repo/
That should work. If you have more questions post to fedora-spins list (CC'ed)
