No need to use genhdlist unless you have changed the actual RPMS (like including any updates). Check you .discinfo file in the <disc1_dir> directory. It should look like this ----begin file---- 1099518735.522378 Fedora Core 3 i386 1,2,3,4 Fedora/base Fedora/RPMS Fedora/pixmaps -----end file----- The important part is the "1,2,3,4" line letting the installer know that the contents of disc 1, 2, 3, and 4 are available in this directory. Another way to make sure everything is spot on is to copy all the CD's into your <disc1_dir> directory and then rsync it against one of the mirrors. This will update your .discinfo file and anything else you are missing. Now you can create a DVD from this directory or use it for a network install. -- Greg
