Can't the installer be tweaked to look for an "RPMS2" directory before it
prompts for new media?

OK, but unweildy, especially over a 64K line. (At home I have unmetered
access, but I get disconnected every 2 hours ... Sometimes reget appears to
work, but my downloaded file is sometimes corrupt -- so I like do download
lots of smaller files.)

Also, I'd like to track updates more closely than the ISO images allow.

How does the rpmslist file help me?

While I was looking for the rpmslist file I found this link
http://www.mandrake.com/drakx/README
which has the instructions for making updates CDs ... with the graphical
installer, which I was just about to ask.

But I can't find any mention of what the directory structure of the 2nd CD
is. Can someone post that for me?

Steven
