i have looked at the script and am not too sure how it all works:
i have modified it to be correct for the version but my questions are;
1. what extension do i save this script as? and where?
help pages said the script should be in /x86_64/misc/
file directories are as follows:
1. Directory Organization
This directory is organized as follows:
|--> media/
| |--> main/ main binary packages
| |--> contrib/ contrib binary packages
| `--> media_info/ packages meta data
|--> install/
| |--> extra/ installation advertising images
| |--> images/ boot images
| `--> stage2/ ramdisk images of the installation
| `--> live/ installation program files
|--> isolinux/ isolinux boot images
|--> doc/ installation help files in various languages
|--> dosutils/ installation utilities for DOS
|--> misc/ source files, install trees
|--> VERSION current version number
|--> COPYING copyright information
|--> INSTALL.txt installation instructions
`--> README.txt this file in text mode
2. there are destination folders that dont exist that are in the script
for example:
rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/extra/RPMS -s pieces/10.1/extra/SRPMS
rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/main -s pieces/10.1/SRPMS/main
the only folder in /10.1/ is /x86_64/
will this be alright and it will use that folder and create its own or should i modify the script here?
the script in question:
list 1 -k pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/media_info/pubkey_main
mkcd/10.1/tools mkcd/10.1/main
rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/extra/RPMS -s pieces/10.1/extra/SRPMS
rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/main -s pieces/10.1/SRPMS/main
list 2 -k pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/media_info/pubkey_contrib mkcd/10.1/contrib
rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/contrib -s pieces/10.1/SRPMS/contrib

3.do you think this will work and create the three or more disks?
4.what commands do i need to give at the #
this is what is given:
./misc/MakeCD -i /path/for/ISOs -a /path/to/cooker/
5.is there a easier way than all this?
6.has anyone got a better script or reference page?
just learning and having fun as well
i want to run a server with it
thanks
david
