Just a log of one user's experience trying to follow the instructions I found it helpful to ssh to diydice and grep through various existing profiles That's what made me realise I needed to change all the occurrences of 'cc' in the recommended starting point to 'ht' (my own username). I'm _guessing_ that the inv.sno is what's given on the label of my machine as "Barcode" No idea how to find the allowed formatting for the inv.location field If you have a high-res display, add the following line: xfree.displaymodes_main "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" Once I got my profile to compile (it's at /diyhome/ht/lcfg/source/ignatius if you're interested), the next hitch was that the boot options menu was not as described in step 7 of the instructions, rather it gave me _five_ options, fc3 and fc5, and defaulted to fc5 while I was still reading! That was OK, since I wanted FC5 Next pblm: couldn't find my profile. Some detective work established that the correct answer is http://diydice.inf.ed.ac.uk/profiles/diy.inf.ed.ac.uk/ignatius/XML/profile.xml obviously your machine name goes where 'ignatius' is above. Next pblm: LCFG fstab: /root/var/cache/afs already exists and populated LCFG install: install method failed and I got dropped into a shell. After looking around a bit, I simply exitted, which rebooted, and this time I got in quickly enough to type 'fc5' at the boot menu prompt. That worked better -- looked like the installation rebuilt the disks from scratch, and started the mega-RPM fetch -- Main.ht - 01 Feb 2007
