The problem of the first CD is linked to hdlist files. As these files does not exists, it must istimate the size they will use given the free space available for rpms. Of course this estimation is aproximative and results, depending of the packages put on the CDs after the real build, in not exact disc size. That is one of the reasons why optimize_space is needed. Of course a another solution would be to manually adjust the CD size after one try, or to change the hdlist estimation size accordingly to experiments. -- Warly
