[Cooker] Stupid question..
Ok, its a dumb question, but why does rpm complain about failed dependencies for stuff that is most assuredly there? (ie. ld, /bin/sh, etc.) They are always very generic utilities that are definately installed in the appropriate places. What can I do to fix it? Thanks Chris
RE: [RE: [Cooker] Re: iso image files]
while I realise that there would be a possible sync issue. there are ways to minimize that. CRC of the filenames for example. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it would be trivial to do, but I am sure it could save a tremendous amount of time for people who can't get a full fileset before the next update. Probably down to about 1 cent now ;-) Chris > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Quel Qun > Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 7:13 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [RE: [Cooker] Re: iso image files] > > > "Chris Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I agree that it would be better that way. in fact, I thought there was > > supposed to be a current Cooker ISO set available on linuxberg, but I > > couldn't find it.

RE: [Cooker] Re: iso image files
I agree that it would be better that way. in fact, I thought there was supposed to be a current Cooker ISO set available on linuxberg, but I couldn't find it. I just took the script from the 7.2beta and modified it to fit my needs. It would seem that the mirror could just kick off the same script via cron then there would always be a current cooker iso set. just my $.02 Chris > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of pablito > Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 2:00 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Cooker] Re: iso image files > > > That's really nice.

RE: [Cooker] Re: iso image files
Pablito, I made a set of ISO files from the Dec 9th fileset. It's not the newest, but if you want I can probably post them someplace for you.

RE: [Cooker] Stupid cooker question...(Building an ISO image)
Nora, After some more digging I found a script on the site from the 7.2 beta that does exactly what I wanted. It might be of use to you also.

[Cooker] Stupid cooker question...(Building an ISO image)
Ok, I read the instructions on the Cooker page on how to create an ISO image from a cooker mirror, but it doesnt seem to jive with my file set. Here is the situation. I have a current mirror set of cooker, but there are two things I don't understand. First, the instructions on making an ISO say to use 'mkisofs -r -b boot-imagefile -c catalogfile -o outputfile source-of-cooker-tree'. The first problem is I have no catalog file (that I can find) in my mirror. The second problem is, the cooker/Mandrake tree is apparently both CD's (inst and ext). How do I seperate the two so that my ISO file will not be larger than the CD media? TIA, Chris
