Why is your media so huge? Can't you put the add-on (if there are any) on another media?
Mostly customer-generated data (application-specific) in RPMs. Their RPMs are already in a separate repo, so it should be a matter of putting them into another media. For now they're being included in the same media (repos as directories on the DVD).
okay, but you could put them in an add-on on another media.
My main concern is with the OS itself, as it may be necessary to install it on systems that only have CD drives. And I couldn't find CD images for the version I'm using (just DVD images). I could use network repos, but that will take some convincing, as the available links can be quite slow for that.
Any suggestions?
I'd say it's very very hard to build a CD version from the DVD version. There is no script I know and even if you'd manage to spread the RPMs over 6 CDs incl. correct metadata on the CDs, you'd probably have to change media after each 2nd or 3rd RPM - unless you manage to put the RPMs in such a clever way on the CDs, that the installation order fits to the order on the medias. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
