rpmxo is a system image scheme in the style of debxo. It aims to allow the creation and modification of system images for use on the XO with a minimal set of infrastructure.

My initial tests have used rinse (descendant of rpmstrap) to bootstrap such systems. It should be equally possible to do so using mock. I have also used Fedora core 9 as a system base, but it should be possible to use Fedora 10 in exactly the same pattern.

Setup.

  • Bootstrap the system using rinse:
  sudo rinse --arch i386 --distribution fedora-core-9 --directory fc9.root
  • Install our custom kernel:
  wget http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/testing/kernel-2.6.25-20080923.3.olpc.f10b654367d7065.i586.rpm
  sudo rpm -ivh --root fc9.root kernel-2.6.25-20080923.3.olpc.f10b654367d7065.i586.rpm

Additional packages I installed: passwd, sudo,
