ack...i am not even familiar with how to look at source code rofl..:)
anaconda is a special case because the binary rpm contains the source code (some of which I have included below).
Your .discinfo looks correct, comma separated list of cd numbers. It may well be a different issue. Are you still using iso9660? Unfortunately I don't have a DVD ROM or burner so I can't test :(
John.
/usr/lib/anaconda/image.py looks like the place: if os.access("/mnt/source/.discinfo", os.R_OK): f = open("/mnt/source/.discinfo") newStamp = f.readline().strip() try: descr = f.readline().strip() except: descr = None try: arch = f.readline().strip() except: arch = None try: discNum = getDiscNums(f.readline().strip()) except: discNum = [ 0 ] f.close() if (newStamp == timestamp and arch == _arch and needed in discNum): done = 1 self.currentDisc = discNum
def getDiscNums(line): # get the disc numbers for this disc nums = line.split(",") discNums = [] for num in nums: discNums.append(int(num)) return discNums

The best place to look is the anaconda source code. It is mostly python which is not too hard to figure out but I have been bitten once or twice (sorry, the pun was intended).
I am grabbing the source now and I'll have a look.

I edited the .discinfo file but still the installer does not recognize the dvd as an instllation medium. I have attached the .discinfo file. If i made a mistake let me know..otherwsie it looks like the installation program itself may need a bit of adjusting..no idea.

Well that didn't work. I got a bootable dvd out of it but the centos installed did not detect the media as having the installation files. It asked for a cd instead of recognizing the dvd. Winiso cannot handle dvd's..:( Anyone have a way to make the centos installer realize all its files are on the dvd instead of looking for three cd's?
