Hi,

I am enclosing scripts and config files to generate exact copy of CentOS 5.0 i386 installation DVD image, that is CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso if you have CD images for i386. linux system is required to run them.

If there is interest I can post the same for x86_64.

Please follow README files for instructions.

All the scripts are GPL.

SHA1 for attached files: 439f7b0bd50722388a2836eedafeb1c227f97385 *00_README.txt 520e805b4c9386d1e08b3741337ee83afe60547d *DVDgen_bin_i386.tar.bz2

I am wondering if you would consider the scripts appropriate for inclusion on CentOS servers, so that people who need both DVD and CD could download jost one of them (after simplifications made possible by having all needed files on http / ftp / rsync servers ) [ The scripts would be simplified, if needed files, which are now obtained with curl, could be included. They are too large for inclusion in mail, so used the curl approach. ]

I am also considering writing a script which would generate DVD iso image directly from CD iso files, without requiring individual files (which are now accessed via loopback mouting or copying from mounted media). Such script could be then run on any machine with perl installed, even most non-linux one. I can see from mail posting that a lot of people use non-linux machines for downloading, so maybe this would be valuable.

Best regards,
