you raise a good question David. I've written some e-mails concerning
this problem & here are
the still poor results:
o I wrote a mail to Kenny Graunke and surprisingly he claims not to be
the author of the mkh.sh file
(I'll attach the message below)
o I wrote a mail to Guillaume Cottenceau and asked him for telling me
(us) how the iso files are
generated which are offered on the ftp-servers (since they produced
a functioning iso they must work)
He promised me to ask these people who generated them to publish their
scripts
here in this cooker list.
Any suggestions?!?
Best,
Daniel.

Dear Daniel,
I'm sorry that I can't help you here, as I never got Mandrake 7.1beta
ISOs created, and I didn't really even write that script.
Let me tell you what happened:
MandrakeSoft announced 7.1beta, with a ISO building script.
Since the only server with premade ISOs would only transfer at 15k
per second (slow...), I downloaded it using rsync. Just by looking
at their ISO building script, I immediately knew it would not work.
So I rewrote it. It was much better, you didn't have to change paths
throughout the entire script. Mandrake also forgot the rpmslist file,
which prevented me from doing it. They seemed to refuse to talk to me,
just quietly doing things, with no email. I was surprised to see my
fixed script show up on their website, with my name on it. Apparently,
they had made more changes to it, which broke it again. Even inserting
whitespaces in the middle of comments! They apparently have kept working
on it. I never finished a working script, and they wouldn't really help
me. I tried to help, but eventually I decided that I could be more
helpful somewhere else. I think I will ask Mandrake to remove my name
from the script too, since I'm really not responsible for it.
Thank you for understanding,
Kenny : )
