Also, Is the copying of the files and the setup of the yast/{order, instorder} files all that need be done? Do any changes need to be made to the control file?

Anthony, yes, it does not matter if its a DVD or a CD. for the DVD, one directory should be enough of course. Anas Anthony Staples wrote:
Is it possible to use the SP1 DVD for this? If so, how would the directory structure look.
maybe just: <rep_dir>/sp1/cd1 with all the files from the dvd in the cd1 directory?

driverupdate contains all fixes needed during installation, which package updates cant solve. So yes, its very critical for autoyast.

Anas, OK, there are only two CDs for SP1. Then copy all files and directories
from these two cd's into /SP1/CD1 and /SP1/CD2, right?
<rep_dir>/driverupdate has some special significance to autoyast?
Just need a little more clarification to alleviate my ignorance!

Anthony,
The easiest way to integerate the service pack:
in your current repository (<rep_dir>)
create CD directories:
mkdir -p <rep_dir>/SP1/{CD1,CD2,CD3....} mkdir <rep_dir>/yast ln -sf SP1/CD1/driverupdate
echo "/SP1 /SP1" > yast/order echo "/" >> yast/order
echo "/SP1" > yast/instorder echo "/" >> yast/instorder

I am downloading sp1 cd's for Novell Linux Desktop. What is the best, easiest way to integrate these new packages into my existing repository? Is there a script available to do it, or do I have to start with a new repository?
I see that there is a checkbox in the autoyast repository "Source Configuration" window to "prompt for additional cds..." But when trying to edit the existing repository this is greyed out. I don't remember if it was greyed out when i created the repository.
