Hi, all.
I use createrepo and buildinstall to create a RHEL DVD, but how can I split it to CDs?

There is no easy way to split into CDs from the DVD.
You can use the program buildinstall (part of anaconda-runtime) to split a tree into CDs and build an ISO install.

You could also google for fedora respin (also re-spin). Anything that applies to FC6 would apply almost exactly to C5.
pungi _might_ do it, it was introduced for F7 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureUsePungi?highlight=%28pungi%29

Extract the tree from the ISO, run /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder against it and then /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/splittree.py using the pkgorder output, followed by a createrepo --split.
Kind regards,

We used a highly classified, top secret method ... I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you :-)
Actually ... I did tell you ... we used buildinstall
Which basically does what Jeroen van Meeuwen said ... then you write the directories created by splittree to ISO using mkisofs.
pungi (as it is in fedora7/8/9) will not work as anaconda is not correct in RHEL4/5 (and therefore not in CentOS either).
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Yes, I did it. But I can't install it. Anaconda only find rpm in the first CD, it seems that anaconda don't know there are five CDs. So, what did I missing?

I solve this problem by adding option "--baseurl" to createrepo command.
