i have looked at the script and am not too sure how it all works: i have modified it to be correct for the version but my questions are; 1. what extension do i save this script as? and where? help pages said the script should be in /x86_64/misc/ file directories are as follows: 1. Directory Organization This directory is organized as follows: |--> media/ | |--> main/ main binary packages | |--> contrib/ contrib binary packages | `--> media_info/ packages meta data |--> install/ | |--> extra/ installation advertising images | |--> images/ boot images | `--> stage2/ ramdisk images of the installation | `--> live/ installation program files |--> isolinux/ isolinux boot images |--> doc/ installation help files in various languages |--> dosutils/ installation utilities for DOS |--> misc/ source files, install trees |--> VERSION current version number |--> COPYING copyright information |--> INSTALL.txt installation instructions `--> README.txt this file in text mode 2. there are destination folders that dont exist that are in the script for example: rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/extra/RPMS -s pieces/10.1/extra/SRPMS rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/main -s pieces/10.1/SRPMS/main the only folder in /10.1/ is /x86_64/ will this be alright and it will use that folder and create its own or should i modify the script here? the script in question: list 1 -k pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/media_info/pubkey_main mkcd/10.1/tools mkcd/10.1/main rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/extra/RPMS -s pieces/10.1/extra/SRPMS rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/main -s pieces/10.1/SRPMS/main list 2 -k pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/media_info/pubkey_contrib mkcd/10.1/contrib rpmlist -b pieces/10.1/x86_64/media/contrib -s pieces/10.1/SRPMS/contrib # disc 1 650m 101-20040715-1 "Installation CD 1" "Mandrakelinux-Official10.1-Disc1" -p Mandrakesoft dir rpms media/main generic --synthesis rpms 1 advertising pieces/10.1/ads/dwd-01.png \ pieces/10.1/ads/dwd-02.png installation -o 50,3,0.1 --synthesis -l fr,it,en,de,es -t download-i586 -i pieces/10.1/install/i586/ -d 1/rpms 2/rpms 3/rpms disc 2 650m 101-20040715-1 "Installation CD 2 (x86_64)" "Mandrakelinux-Official10.1-Disc2" -p Mandrakesoft dir rpms media/main2 generic --synthesis rpms 1 disc 3 650m 101-20040715-1 "Installation CD 3 (x86_64)" "Mandrakelinux-Official10.1-Disc3" -p Mandrakesoft dir rpms media/main3 generic --synthesis rpms 1 3.do you think this will work and create the three or more disks? 4.what commands do i need to give at the # this is what is given: ./misc/MakeCD -i /path/for/ISOs -a /path/to/cooker/ 5.is there a easier way than all this? 6.has anyone got a better script or reference page? just learning and having fun as well i want to run a server with it thanks david
