Your posts are off topic on this mailing list, you should be asking on
cooker@
The iso will be finished mirroring to linuxberg very shortly.
As for the du output, how big is a 74minute cd.. Right and how big does it
appear my i586 oxygen tree is. Thats why it took so long.
(your on a modem so i recommend you wait for the iso, but you asked so)
#mirror from ftp the oxygen/ directory preserving permissions and symlinks
cd /mnt/disk
lftp -c 'open ftp.somewhere.org; cd some/dir/oxygen; mirror'
# Do a little prep to get the boot images to the start of the disk
mkdir -p /tmp/r
mv /mnt/disk/images /tmp/r
mkisofs -R \
-o /output/dir/oxygen.iso \
-b images/gi_cdrom.img \
-c images/.catalog \
/tmp/r \
/mnt/disk
