No. It could hardly be simpler. If you want mandrake-everything for
9.0 all you have to do is set up your receptacle directory structure
(preferably on a mounted partition <g>) to match what troels.rsync6.2.pl
expects, like below, and set my $store in the perl scripts to your
receptacle base address (default /mnt/mandrake).
-- 9.0
|-- 9.0-tree
'-- i586
|-- 9.0-contrib
|-- 9.0-unsupported
|-- 9.0-unsupported-MandrakeClub
`-- 9.0-updates
-- cooker-tree
|-- i586
' -| contrib
and for what troels.rsync6.2.keep.iso.keep.pl expects, like this:
-- iso-1
-- iso-2
then all you have to do (internet up) is:
./troels.rsync6.2.pl
./troels.rsync6.2.iso.keep.pl
Many hours or days later:
"QED! Hunkey Dorey! You beauty!"
To not collect any mandrake stream, just comment out the rsync_profile
command for it in troels...
But, make sure you have plenty of space:
12,632,953,856
is used by mine today, and the ISOs are not complete, so allow 15 to
20GB (no joke!).
