That can't be all... that gives a tree with Mandrake/{RPMS,RPMS2,RPMS3}
which is what got us in the pickle we're in -- 3 sets of files already
separated into the CD images... I've tried recombining the RPMS*
directories into RPMS...
Every attempt at running MakeCD generates TONS of errors:
WARNING scoreList: <package> has zero size
autodeps: ignoring <package>
WARNING buildDisc: group 1 REJECTED <package> (not selected in rpm lists:
)
etc...
Any idea if there is a ResizeCD tool to go from ISOs as distributed to
ISOs of my choice of size...?
Running out of time.... <SIGH> Just got a call from my friend; she just
got her WalMart computer... right off the bat, the *mouse* is really a
trackball, and it doesn't work! Actually, it worked for a few moments...
talked her husband through resetting the root password, in order to issue
"init 3" which does not shutdown the X server... looks like when I get
there (5 hour drive) this w/e, I may be cursing Microtel/WalMart... This
is NOT how to win new converts to Linux!!
Back to the "number of CDs" issue: I've only got a few hours before
making that trip... If I can't get 9.0 on CDs, I may just say "fsck it!"
and wait for 9.1 in the hopes the false-economy issue has been revisited
by saner heads...
