Thanks for the link, I've used that info and created usable ISO images but in my situation, even the install scripts are different than the downloadable ISO. Now before you start asking questions, I'll tell you what I did to create my local mirror and then the ISOs for burning. 1) rsync -avP --delete ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake/9.0/i586/ /Data/Mandrake9/cooker/i586 I started doing that via an hourly cron job a week before release so I wouldn't be standing in line on the day of release. As packages were updated, the correct dates and files would arrive; I checked quite often :-) 2) mkcd --discsize 734000000 --isodir /home -a /Data/Mandrake9/cooker/i586/ What I got was an install script that when it got to selecting packages, there was *no* tree view but I could view the packages in flatfile mode. There were other glitches here and there that let me know things were *not* working well. So, instead of really giving my friend a headache, I downloaded the 3 pre-made ISOs and burned them for him. Things looked quite a bit better and worked according to the established high standards of the Mandrake team. Now for the million dollar questions; What did I do wrong ? How can I make it work right ? I'd like to be a good 'Net citizen and not download the entire ISO set frequently so I'm trying to find a way to save bandwidth for others. Call me a conservation nut but with the local drought, I even catch shower water and drive my recyclables downtown to the proper station. So for the sake of others, if not for myself, please help me resolve this issue of wasted bandwidth :-) -- Sincerely, Trent M. Gunnarson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
