I'm having some difficulty trying to create install CDs with YaST CD
creator.  I'm planning on using it to create ISO images for auto-install
CDs with my AutoYaST control file.  This works fine except it create an ISO
image that's too big to fit on one CD (bigger than 700mb).  Burning DVDs is
not an option for me.  I was wondering how I could have the utitily span my
install image over multiple CDs.

Also, if that's (spanning the image to multiple CDs) not possible, is there
a work around that I could use to accomplish the same result.  I believe
all I need is to be able to burn the Autoyast control file to the first CD
image.  Can I take an existing live CD's ISO image and somehow include my
control file (autoinst.xml) the first bootable CD?  My understanding is
that SLES installer looks for a 'autoinst.xml' file and if found uses it.

I tried "editing" CD1 of the install source to add my autoinst.xml file and
got an 'Image checksum error'.  How do I update the implanted image
checksum once I've inserted my autoinst.xml and rebuilt the ISO?

Thanks in advance.
