I'm trying to build my own cooker CDs on a 9.1 box. This MakeCD procedure
doesn't work.
----------------------------
I get:
./MakeCD --discsize 700m -a
ERROR auto: 1
usage
auto <repository> <extra RPMS directory 1> <extra RPMS directory
2> ... <extra RPMS directory n>
Auto mode configuration
options:
--noisolinux
Do not use a isolinux boot
-c, --cd <number of discs>
Max number of discs
-h, --help <path> <to> <the> <function>
Display help, eg. auto -h option_X suboption_Y.
-s, --sources
Create SRPMS discs too
--------------------------------------------------------------
Is there an easy way to get this to work on 9.1 or should I try "upgrading"
from a 9.0/9.1 install using urpmi?
I'd like to try the CD install method, since that doesn't work for my laptop
with 9.1. And I don't have a floppy for my LT.
Cheers
Simon
