This covers how to create your own CentOS derivative distribution DVD. Specifically, it is how the AN!Cluster DVD was created based on the CentOS 5.5 x86_64 DVDs.

= Directory Setup =

Start with a copy of the CentOS DVD disk 1 (we won't be using disk 2).

<source lang="bash">
# Create the directory were we will mount the ISOs on and then mount the DVD
# image from the '/os/' directory.
mkdir -p /mnt/loop
mount -o loop /os/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso /mnt/loop/

# This will be the directory we'll create our derivative in.
mkdir -p /os/an_cluster/x86_64

# Copy the files from the DVD. Don't miss the ".x" files.
cp -Rvp /mnt/loop/.discinfo /os/an_cluster/x86_64/
cp -Rvp /mnt/loop/.treeinfo /os/an_cluster/x86_64/
cp -Rvp /mnt/loop/* /os/an_cluster/x86_64/
</source>

We're going to re-name our distro to AN!Cluster, but because the ! causes problems, we'll use the directory names AN_Cluster and an_cluster depending on what we are doing with it.

To start, rename the CentOS to AN_Cluster.

<source lang="bash">
cd /os/an_cluster/x86_64
mv CentOS AN_Cluster
</source>
