I thought I would try to create my own cd#3 by removing some
packages I didn't want (eg. OpenOffice help for a number of
languages), and adding extra top-level directories with other
useful stuff from elswhere. I ended up with an almost full
700M CD to which I gave the same label as the original (so
far as I could tell) with all packages & files valid (ie. it
was no coaster).
The final structure was:
CD-
|-Mandrake-
| |-RPMS
|-OtherDir-1
|-OtherDir-2
etc.
So, except for the extra top-level directories, and a few missing
rpms from the Mandrake/RPMS directory, it should be identical to
the original.
However, during an upgrade (from 8.2), it was not recognized as a
valid cd#3. I muddled through, by using rpm -Fvh on the CD later,
so I eventually got it done. But:
1) What else should I have done originally?
2) Is there anything else I need to fix that the upgrade would have
handled for me that "rpm -Fvh" wouldn't?
