Here's how I've done it. The SRPMS dir must exist, even if empty. # mkdir /buildroot/SRPMS You need buildinstall's pkgorder.txt in /buildroot for this to work and release-string probably needs to be the same as with buildinstall. # splittree.py --arch=i386 --total-discs=3 --bin-discs=3 --release-string="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Advanced Server" --pkgorderfile=/buildroot/pkgorder.txt --distdir=/buildroot/i386 --src-discs=1 --srcdir=/buildroot/SRPMS New hdlists should be made. # rm /buildroot/i386-disc1/RedHat/base/hdlist* # genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder /buildroot/pkgorder.txt /buildroot/i386-disc[123] Then you can make the isos (working dir is /buildroot) # mkisofs -r -N -L -d -D -J -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o as3-1.iso i386-disc1 # mkisofs -r -N -L -d -D -J -o as3-2.iso i386-disc2 # mkisofs -r -N -L -d -D -J -o as3-3.iso i386-disc3 You can probably do most of these without being root.
