It will take a while to run, during which there will be no output. I think 
it took about 10 minutes on my 486 laptop. Once you get the machine up 
and running, you can mail me the file created by that command.

Wait until you have the complete install done. I'm not as worried about 
rpm problems for the temporary system. Then again, I'm not entirely sure 
what you are trying to do. The boot disk should contain enough 
functionality to accomplish the install. (The next version of the 
installer will also allow you to install from rpms on a hard drive, as 
well.)

Yup, there would be a seg fault. I had the same problem here until I used 
the right module.

Already updated in my local filesystem so it doesn't get forgotten. When I 
generate new images, the correct modules should be included.

Currently, I am adding multiple cd support to the scripts, as well as 
doing a lot of script cleanup. Once that's done, I'll post the new 
images.
