I going to try to update my "Yum Repo from Images" HOWTO to include 
using CD ISO images for those people that don't have the DVD ISO. As I 
don't have the CD ISOs myself though, there's a bit of information I 
need: where is the comps.xml file? On the DVD ISO it can be found in the 
"repodata" directory and has the following MD5SUM (i386):

3c64b01ab4602f6a07dc47e26e96326f  comps.xml

Is that on CD1 in the same place? Is it the same file?

Paul.
