Hi, Has someone managed to burn all SLES9 CDs plus SP2 CDs on one DVD and made this as installation source so that one doesn't have to play disk jockey during installation? My first approach of taking the source from the installation server failed: - Copy all SLES9 CDs in one directory /export/suse/i386/sles9sp2 - Copy all SLES9 SP2 CDs into the same directory - Remove all src RPMs in the src directory - Change dir to /export/suse/i386/sles9sp2/suse - Run create_package_descr - Create bootable ISO file with mkisofs -A "SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 SP2" \ -l -r -T -J -pad -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -b boot/loader/isolinux.bin \ -c boot/boot.catalog \ -hide boot/boot.catalog \ -hide-joliet boot/boot.catalog \ -input-charset default \ -V "SLES9SP2" \ -o "/tmp/sles9sp2-i386-dvd.iso" \ /export/suse/i386/sles9sp2 - Burn the ISO file onto DVD cdrecord-dvd dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=8 -eject -sao /tmp/sles9sp2-i386-dvd.iso The DVD was bootable but then it complained that I should insert the first product CD. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for help. Regards, Bernd
Hi, you need to put the FCS and SP2 cd's in separate directories and create the yast/order and yast/instorder stuff ... easiest way to learn what you must do is to create a SLES9 SP2 install dir with yast (there are also some links you need to place in the top dir). Then you just copy all or burn from there, but you first will need to change the content of order and instorder, basically you need to make sure that in those files the paths are correct,i.e. they need to start from "/" being the root of the DVD. hope this helps, Jo On Tuesday 01 November 2005 10:03, Bernd Nies wrote:

- Burn the ISO file onto DVD
cdrecord-dvd dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=8 -eject -sao /tmp/sles9sp2-i386-dvd.iso
The DVD was bootable but then it complained that I should insert the first product CD. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for help.
