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
