how to create suse update CD - RESOLVED
Hi, After some more google found this... How to do local YaST2 Online Update YaST2 Online Update Locally Togan Muftuoglu ************** << snip >> ************** Creating a Patch CD There is also the possibilty to create CD with the patches on a CD ROM. Once you have created such a CD, start YaST2 Control Center and choose Patch CD Update Background Information The patch structure and the directories where the patches are located should be exactly the same as on the ftp server. The path on CD ROM must start with the {ARCHITECTURE} directory, e.g. the path on ftp server is: /pub/suse/{ARCHITECTURE}/update/{SuSE-Version}/patches/* the directory structure on the CD ROM is: {ARCHITECTURE}/update/{SuSE-Version}/patches/* ************** So to make a Patch CD the important point is use of graft-points option of mkisofs for example -graft-points i386/update/8.0=/usr/local/update/i386/update/8.0 This way you can use the CD as a patch CD and YaST2 will happly accept it. ************************** Using XCdroast to create the Patch CD Start XCDroast and choose Create CD->Master Tracks. and choose the directory you have as the mirror (/usr/local/update/i386/update/8.0 in the example) **** on my system../var/lib/YAST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.0 **** When you add the directory a pop window will be created asking you to choose how the directory structure will be written to the CD which will be for SuSE 8.0 i386/update/8.0 **** on my system... i386/update/9.0 **** Finally choose Creat session/Image and after calculating size of the image either write the image to the CDROM on the fly or to the disk to be processed later ******************** Well....at this moment box 2 is updating with CD created with xcdroast. VERY much faster than internet :) STILL trying to figure out -graft-points. Please ...would like to know how mkisofs -graft-points work...failed to comprehend...could some one kindly provide the full command taking the above into account...to create a iso. ******** Any other ways to do it I would like to learn about them..please. Thanks -- Johan Registered Linux User #330034 May this be a good day for learning - Still learning.

Please, when you post something that is a continuation/answer/solved about something you posted, please post it as a REPLY to the proper email, not as an isolated one: it makes tracing issues very dificult. Also, do note that the answer you found googling is the same we gave you previously. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
