Yes. Easiest way though is to do this: 1) Insert CD1. 2) cp -af /mnt/cdrom/* /path/to/anonftproot/9.0 3) eject 4) Insert CD2. 5) cp -af /mnt/cdrom/* /path/to/anonftproot/9.0 6) eject 7) Insert CD3. 8) cp -af /mnt/cdrom/* /path/to/anonftproot/9.0 9) eject There's a pattern there :) Then configure your anonymous ftp to have / be looking at /path/to/anonftproot. Done. > I would like to add the updates and some custom RPMS as well. Rsync with a mirror that carries updates. Put them in /path/to/anonftproot/updates (note that it's at the same level as the 9.0 directory). Then use urpmi to keep all of the other machines current. The path will be ftp://yourserver/updates/9.0/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz As far as custom RPMS, I suggest you make a seperate /path/to/anonftproot/9.0/local/RPMS and a /path/to/anonftproot/9.0/local/base where you put the hdlist. You will have to generate the hdlist yourself. Look into 'genhdlist'. If it's not installed, find out what it's in with 'urpmf genhdlist' and then install that package. Blue skies...
