[Cooker] mkisofs & k3b
Hi. I have recently burnt a cd with K3B, and in one of my directories on the CD, there is a "dummydir" folder, and a text file containing the TOC for mkisofs. If I go in the dummydir folder, I can browse the whole cd tree again. It is really weird. A friend of mine has had the same problem with xcdroast, so I think it may come from mkisofs. Anybody ever heard of that ? cheers gauret

[Cooker] mkisofs-1.15-0.a20.1mdk problems
Hi, I'm using mkisofs with gcombust as a front end. The new mkisofs version creates an extra dir named 000 under each directory I add to the files listing. so this: dir1/file1 file2 leads to this: dir1/000/file1 file2 This problem didn't appear with mkisofs-1.15-0.a19.

Not only _can_ I remove it, I _must_ remove it or mkisofs will blow a gasket ;) That out of the way, I can now generate beautiful shiny disks that actually boot my computer and initiate the new graphical install process (nice work people!), but I am left now with one small tactical question: Is there a utility to verify that all my RPMs are consistent, that there are no missing dependencies? I may be out of luck since my pressing motivation to create this CD set is because my RPM kit is out of commission, but some functions appear to work, and the rpm kit within the cooker itself will work, the only hurdle appears to be when things try to use my local rpm database and keel over with errors like cannot open Depends index using db3: Cannot allocate memory (12) rpmdb: Unable to allocate 8347 bytes rom mpool shared region This leads to another question about the Mandrake install process. My guess is that I cannot save my old rpm db; it correctly reports all the packages installed, but does not allow any other queries (file lists, or package info) and does not allow updates. Thus, I fear I will have to choose "Install" instead of "Update" in the installer. What will "Install" kill? Does it (must it) reformat the HD, or will it just overwrite the rpmdb leaving everything already installed? If it does reformat, is there some way to prevent/bypass that step and go straight to package installations? -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: office voice/fax: 01 519 4222723 T(C)Inc Business Innovations through Open Source http://www.teledyn.com KernelWiki Community Linux Docs: http://kernelbook.sourceforge.net/wiki

[Cooker] Rolling a Cooker: mkisofs error?
In my quest to roll my own cooker disks, I've got to the point where I can create disks 2 and 3, but the whereabouts of disk 1 remains a mystery. I use the command mkcds /home/ftp/pub/cooker /home/ftp/pub/iso and the log seems to be fine for the first while ... choosing compression method with "gzip -9" \ for archive /tmp/.build_hdlist/hdlist1.cz real archive size of /tmp/.build_hdlist/hdlist1.cz is 2615726 repeats for hdlist2 and hdlist3 (any util to dump those lists?) but then things go missing. mkcds reports the following error Mandrake -- . Mandrake -- .. Mandrake -- RPMS Mandrake -- RPMS.cooker Mandrake -- base Mandrake -- mdkinst Mandrake -- share Ignoring file mkcds~ Using RR_MO000 for /rr_moved (rr_moved) mkisofs: Error: (NULL POINTER) and /rr_moved have the same Rock Ridge name mkisofs: Unable to sort directory and that appears to be the end of disk-1 I'm going to probe this a bit by putting some trace statements into mkcd.pl, but does this look familiar to anyone?

Re: [Cooker] mkisofs and the old rpmslist
Thanks. I find on Redhat they use bash2 to refer to the up-to-date bash. And I have another problem, it seems that the rpmslist is not up-to-date, I find several packages are not in the same name (like qt2->libqt2). Is there anyone working on a update of the rpmslist. Whill this affect my installation if I use this old rpmslist.

I made an iso image following the directions on the Mandrake cooker page and, sure enough, it made an iso image of 1.2 gigabytes, just as I expected, though I'd hoped that there might be something in a script file that would have made a cooker-installation iso and a cooker-extra iso. True, Mandrake never promised that the resulting iso image would be suitable for burning ordinary CDs, they just said there would be an iso image. Will this iso image be clever enough to burn two CDs? I suspect probably not, although it would be a treat if it did! If not, how do you get two cds out of the cooker files suitable for installation?
