I seem to remember this being addressed before, but I can't find the howto anywhere.
I've got a friend heading to another country with VERY limited bandwidth. He'd like me to update the 4.4 DVD to include all of the updated RPMS from updated.
Where can I find the scripts to update the meta data on the RPMS and create a new bootable DVD?
Sounds like a good candidate for a CentOS Wiki page if someone can document a clean way to do this. The sipX kickstart may get you there but is a bit confusing for this purpose. [A related issue is creating a DVD from CD images. There's a blank page on the Wiki but no helpful
Do you mean recreating DVD image from CD images or the other way? If a method where linux with root priviledges (for loopback mounting of the images) is required is OK, I could post my scripts and describe how to use them.
As an application example, I burn installation DVD image for say CentOS or Fedora onto DVD+R (not RW), then add some files (DVD is still bootable and is good for installation); Using the files added I can recreate installation CD images set.
Or I burn DVD with CD images and some extra files, which allow me recreate DVD image.
So this is somewhat a kind of simplistic and specialized (ISO images only) jigdo utility.
Anyone would want that?
