Make a symlink tree from a third location that just points to all the files, and point your boot infrastructure at that. (assuming you're doing a http based install that "follow symlinks" is enabled on your web server). -- rgds Stephen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] C6.5 - combine two DVD isos into one tree?
I have the two DVD isos for CentOS 6.5 mounted as loopback, on the mount points /centos6 and /centos6a, and am trying to use them for PXE/KS installation. The problem I have is that the packages in /centos6a/Packages are not found by the installer. The host is a CentOS 5 system. Is there a way for me to overlay the second DVD on the first without having to copy all the packages from both isos into a new directory? Or is there a standard path I can use to mount the second DVD that the installer will use for packages that are not found on the first? Or any other ideas? I'm sure I can't be the first to stumble over this!
