My take on this was to read the RedHat-CDROM-Howto and implement the "patched" not on a cd, but rather on an internal anonymous ftp server. The process is automated using the perl "mirror" script, along with modified scripts from the Howto referenced above. It dispenses with the 3 day old obsoleted cd collection, and each install is assured to be current at the time of install. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
