From: fazlin on 18 Nov 2009 08:03 Hi all, I have a machine running Opensuse 10.3 and i need to create a opensuse 11.1 environment in a directory say "/home/myroot". I need this setup so that i can do a chroot to /home/myroot and perform some compilation using gcc supplies by opensuse11.1. I got the Opensuse 11.1 DVD and tried to install the rpm using following commands: rpm -hvi --root /home/myroot <rpm-package> I face few problems: 1. Dependency issues 2. rpmlib(PayloadIsLZMA) issue. I need few help for the following questions: 1. Is there any particular order in which rpms should be installed to setup a minimal root system (for my reqmnt atleast) 2. I understand that rpmlib issue is due to opensuse 11.1 using LZMA compression while 10.2 rpm package could not handle that. But i cant find a proper solution to overcome this problem. Any help on these questions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Fazlin

I to still run 10.3 after a reinstall i see no need to upgrade. As regards to what your doing i would leave well alone. Or install 11.2 i installed that on my laptop impressive but my 10.3 does every thing 11.2 can do.

Now i got opensuse 11.1 instead of 10.3 and hence rpmlib (PayloadIsLZMA) problem is solved. But i still need to know the set of rpms that are required to create a chroot environment in my "/home/myroot" directory. Listing the basic rpms would be helpful. From my analysis rpms like filesystem, bash, glibc are very essential ones but they have lot of dependencies problem when i do rpm -hvi --root /home/myroot <rpm> Thanks, Fazlin
