hai all,

i have downloaded the PLD rescue CD & i want to install PLD Linux. in
PLD documenation at this page:
http://docs.pld-linux.org/instalacjarc_install_core.html

i see this command:

# poldek --root /dest --mkdir -i \
lilo SysVinit rc-scripts poldek FHS geninitrd pico bash mc \
openssl dev pcre xfsprogs login shadow modutils --nodeps

but that does not work & i was told by the system that options were
not correct. i checked "man poldek" & saw that there is no "--mkdir"
option that comes with "poldek". may i know what is the correct
options?

BTW, what exactly "--mkdir" does?

I suppose that documentation is out of date. But you can try this:

# rpm --initdb --root=/dest
# poldek --root=/dest

and use install command in poldek shell to install basic packages (especially 
poldek, your favourite shell (bash?) and some editor - I used to install mc 
for convenient). After that try to make 

# chroot /dest bash (if you installed bash)

and inside chroot edit your poldek configuration (or just before entering 
chroot copy it from /etc/poldekwhatever) and run it... install rest of 
packages you want, edit core configuration files (/etc/fstab, bootloader 
etc.), install bootloader, set root password, eject rescuecd, (*)pray, init 
6, pray... and if your prays did nothing back to rescuecd and correct 
mistakes you made - after all jump to (*)...

Good luck.

BTW, why someone wanted to use --nodeps?
