Interesting. I'll have a good look to see why it came up with that
error. In theory, it shouldn't since mkisofs is passed the same
directory that create_package_descr uses. Try re-running it without
specifying either --temp-dir or  --dest-dir. They're not strictly needed
as, if they aren't specified, the script will pick present directory by
default.

Well, it's not really that great a difference

I'm guessing that that is the cause of the problem. See below.

Grabbed.

I've downloaded it and just finished building the ISO.

You too :)

The 0.27 script failed again.

I guess that I've just compared the ./content files on the one produced
by my script, and that produced by yours and your script has the add-on
CD content file whereas mine has the file from the last CD image
processed, which would be CD5 when using the full set.

I've edited the 0.27 script so it doesn't work in reverse order[0],
built another DVD image, tested it and it seems to have worked.
