First, my objective is to be able to re-create the first three disks of the Down Load Edition with the RPMS updated from the 8.2/updates (when they start coming out). Towards that goal, I have come across a couple things with mkcd 1. Using the image from the RC1 disks, I first tried following the example in the README.makcd under misc/docs; this did not re-create the disks similar to the rc1 disks. 2. So next I tried using a conf similar to the one in misc/8.2.conf. Once I worked out things a bit, I had very good success. But two things occurred which I have been unable to understand/resolve and would appreciate any comments: I used the conf file attached, and the command line mkcd -s rc1/8.2.conf --verbose -p 8-2.cd -m1,2,3 a) The iso images are created but the first cd is larger than expected 652MB instead of 650) and console displayed messages show the following: [...] 330720 extents written (645 Mb) ERROR: disc 3 mkisofs -r -J -hide-rr-moved -nobak -cache-inodes -V DLE-82EN03 -o "/home/david/iso/8.2/3-8.2".iso "/home/david/build/8.2/3" failed (No such file or directory) [...] 332336 extents written (649 Mb) ERROR: disc 2 mkisofs -r -J -hide-rr-moved -nobak -cache-inodes -V DLE-82EN02 -o /home/david/iso/8.2/2-8.2.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table "/home/david/build/8.2/first/2" "/home/david/build/8.2/2" failed (No such file or directory) [...] 334192 extents written (652 Mb) ERROR: disc 1 mkisofs -r -J -hide-rr-moved -nobak -cache-inodes -V DLE-82EN -o /home/david/iso/8.2/1-8.2.iso -b Boot/cdrom.img -c Boot/boot.cat "/home/david/build/8.2/first/1" "/home/david/build/8.2/1" failed (No such file or directory) ERROR: disc 1 is too big (684427264 > 681000000 (new disc size 677572736) ERROR: disc 3 is too small (677316608 < 681000000 (new disc size 684683392) What file is mkisofs complaining about? everything on the line appears in my filesystem. How do I get the first CD smaller (similar in size to rc1 CD1), other than reducing the 681000000 to a smaller value? Other than the location of the files, what is differnent between my conf below and the one that you used to create the rc1 disks? or could it be the contents of list files main and contrib? my 8.2.conf: # 8.2 LIST 1 /home/david/rc1/cd1/misc/doc/main /home/david/rc1/RPMS LIST 2 /home/david/rc1/cd1/misc/doc/contrib /home/david/rc1/contrib DISC 1 681000000 DLE-82EN DISC 1 Download Edition Installation CD (x86) dir rpms Mandrake/RPMS generic --synthesis rpms 1 advertising /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/00-thanks.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/01-gnu.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/02-internet.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/03-graphic.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/04-develop.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/05-contcenter.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/06-user.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/07-server.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/08-games.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/09-MDKcampus.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/10-MDKexpert.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/11-consul.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/12-MDKstore.png /home/david/rc1/cd1/Mandrake/share/advertising/13-Nvert.png installation -o 50,3,0.1 --nosources --synthesis -l fr,it,en,de,es,zh -t beta4-i586 -i /home/david/rc1/cd1 1/rpms 2/rpms 3/rpms 3/rpms2 boot -b -d Boot images/cdrom.img -f /home/david/rc1/cd1/images DISC 2 681000000 DLE-82EN02 DISC 2 Download Edition Second Installation CD (x86) dir rpms Mandrake/RPMS2 generic --synthesis rpms 1 boot --isolinux isolinux -b isolinux/isolinux.bin --first /home/david/rc1/cd1/isolinux DISC 3 681000000 DLE-82EN03 DISC 3 Download Edition Contributions CD (x86) dir rpms Mandrake/RPMS3 dir rpms2 Mandrake/RPMS4 generic --synthesis rpms 1 generic -l 0.6 --synthesis rpms2 2 Best regards Dave
