Although a little outdated because of CentOS7 nowadays, it is still very helpfull for me building and creating custom Kickstart ISO's for EL8 and EL9 Distro's (AlmaLinux and RockyLinux).
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. You saved me a lot of headache.

Thank you for the video. You didn't mention that the label that you put for inst.stage2 had to match what you put in the -V when creating the iso this caused me some issues but I figured it out.

Hey Buddy, If I use mkisofs -J I'm getting Joliet tree sort failed exception .. So I've used -joliet-long instead of -J. This solved the issue but the ISO is not in bootable state. Vsphere VM's are not detecting the ISO as bootable device... Is there any way to repack the ISO as bootable ISO ?
