Yes, I had complete os/ trees. I basically mounted the DVD iso and copied everything from it. Here's the results I get after running your script: [root at img i386]# pwd /var/www/html/linux/centos/5/isos/i386 [root at img i386]# ls -lha total 13G drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K May 6 14:37 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Mar 27 11:58 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 624M Mar 21 10:17 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1of6.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13K May 6 14:48 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1of6.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 482M May 6 14:48 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1of6.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 637M Mar 21 10:18 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-2of6.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13K May 6 15:22 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-2of6.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 411M May 6 15:22 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-2of6.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 635M Mar 21 10:19 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-3of6.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25K May 6 14:43 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-3of6.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 388M May 6 14:43 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-3of6.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 632M Mar 21 10:20 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-4of6.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K May 6 15:12 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-4of6.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 354M May 6 15:12 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-4of6.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 638M Mar 21 10:21 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-5of6.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.1K May 6 15:07 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-5of6.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 383M May 6 15:07 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-5of6.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 625M Mar 21 10:22 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-6of6.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.3K May 6 15:16 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-6of6.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 599M May 6 15:16 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-6of6.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7G Mar 31 08:38 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71K May 6 15:04 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.jigdo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.6G May 6 15:04 CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-DVD.template -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.3M Mar 21 09:05 CentOS-5.3-i386-netinstall.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 505 Mar 31 08:33 md5sum.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 741 Mar 31 08:33 md5sum.txt.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 569 Mar 31 08:33 sha1sum.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 805 Mar 31 08:33 sha1sum.txt.asc As you can see, my .template files are about 2/3rds the size of the .iso they are for. What's up with that? When I ran your script I was inside of the os/ dir... and there are i386 and x86_64 dirs there... and it as part of the process created i386.jigdo/ and x86_64.jigdo/ directories... and copied everything from the i386 and the x86_64 dirs into the .jigdo directories... so maybe I'm doing something wrong?
