if you need to make your own hdlist.cz (because the rpms on your cd are
your personal selection, not a straight copy of some mirror which
houses a matching hdlist.cz) then you can create one with the genhdlist
command. It has no manpage, but prints a nice --help entry.
No i am wanting to do exactly as you described below but after trying to
create a hdlist.cz via genhdlist. Help file is below
Usage: /usr/bin/genhdlist [options] [dir...]
