Stew, if you could pray tell how you generate your CD images it'd be real nice :) mkcd.pl under misc. You need to update rpmslist under Mandrake/base, which is where I ended up dropping a lot of libs whose names had changed, by mistake. The 2nd CD is just a plain ISO. The first is a hybrid hfs/ISO, which the referenced script takes care of setting up. ./mkcd.pl .. /place-to-put-2-ISOs WARNING: Installer you're working with from mirror source is out of date.

You'll need to hack at the code a little too. Originally any files that weren't in rpmslist got thrown onto the 3rd CD. A 3rd CD is not an option, so I just discard them with a warning, so I know what's being excluded.
