That's because you have an aborted build and /tmp/CD_DIR is left behind.
There's no harm in removing it unless you used makeSUSEdvd with the "-i"
option, and plan to use the "-C" option later.

No need to download autoyast2, just the create_package_descr.gz file. As
long as you extract it into a directory in your $PATH it should be fine.
I'll say should, I'm not presently running any non-SUSE systems[0] so
can't say for certain.

I don't have genisoimage installed, so have no idea why it's coming up
with that error.

Have you tried using mkisofs itself to do the job? While limited to only
(open)SUSE systems[0], the commands I gave work on all those I've tested
it on, so should (there's that word again!) work on non-SUSE systems.


[0] Not counting a WinXP system. I might actually try it out using
Cygwin, purely as a matter of curiosity.
