With gendistrib, is it possible to contribs to rpms3 (as rpms2 is on
second cd/iso) and have 3rd cd that works just like 1 & 2 with the auto
dep checking and descriptions, etc.? I assume it was made for stuff
like that. Or if installdone from hd, take all rpms to one dir and
gendistrib and make a massive (far too big for cd) iso for use off hd?
