I did some fiddling after my post. to answer your question, no rpmstrate on the dvd. However there was one in the .../tmp/../Mandrake/base/ created/copied there during the mkcd process. I also tried to using a config file and saw from the old readme that comes in /usr/share/doc/mkcd-2.8.1/ that there is an -r switch so I did this: # 8.2 LIST 1 /mnt/fire2/mirror/mybuild/main /mnt/fire2/mirror/mybuild/i586/Mandrake/RPMS LIST 2 /mnt/fire2/mirror/mybuild/contrib-list /mnt/fire2/mirror/mybuild/contrib/RPMS DISC 1 4680000000 8.2DVD 8.2 Home Brewed DVD Edition dir rpms Mandrake/RPMS generic --synthesis rpms 1 generic --synthesis rpms 2 installation -o 50,3,0.1 --nosources --synthesis -l en -t bluebird-i586 -r /mnt/fire2/mirror/mybuild/rpmsrate -i /mnt/fire2/mirror/mybuild/i586/ 1/rpms 2/rpms the iso built okay, and I mounted it loopback, and the rpmstrate file was on the iso.. Haven't burned it as I don't want to burn another $7. Will try mounting the image and then pointing a network install (either nfs or ftp) to it to see how the package selection works.
