This has been simplified with the rpmtools package available in cooker. I
describe here how to to as mkcd.pl need to be updated with this new tool
(replace old genhdlists, genhdlist_cz2, genbasefiles).
You just have to edit (if necessary) Mandrake/base/hdlists for description and
number of CD.
Add/Remove package in your local directory.
You need after that to copy CD (same or different directory) on your hd, then
call "gendistrib --distrib <root1> <root2> ..." with <root1> <root2>
corresponding to where you copied the CD.
After that, edit compssList or rpmsrate according to you version for automatic
selection of packages.
build iso and burn them.
