easy mkcd: mkcd --catto [logfilename] -a [path to i586 dir of your cooker mirror] >[stdout log] 2>[stderr log] most the errors will be in the [logfilename] but sometimes see them in the other logs. Makes 650M CDs of everything in cooker + contrib (if you mirror contrib). If you want larger CDs add a "--discsize 700M" in there (for 700M CDs - your size may vary). mkcd --discsize 700M --catto [logfilename] -a [path to i586 dir of your cooker mirror] >[stdout.log] 2>[stderr.log] Note that the mkcd in .../i586/misc is usually broke - use the rpm. (for example the day 9.1 was frozen I used it and got CD1 as 850M - the mkcd from rpm made all less than 650M) If you want to tweak what gets in - see genhdlist. *NOTE: this only applies to running under cooker. If you are using a release version you may need to use MakeCD to get the right libs used during build (in which case you're on your own - I haven't run a release version in so long I don't recall what it was)* -- Murray J.
