SLES8/UL SP3 autoinstall CD create issue
Hi, I wanna create a customize SLES8/UL SP3 CD which include autoinst.xml and info file and could used for CD instmode automatic install. The problem i met was the size of SP3 CD is too large to fit in ISO9660 CD. Could any one told me the proper steps to create such CD? the steps I used as bellow: 1 loop mount the SP3 iso # mount -o loop SLES8-SP3.iso /media/cdrom 2 copy the content to a directory # mkdir -p /datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3 # cd /media/cdrom; cp -a . /datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3 when i run this command, the output give following error: cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/patches'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/UnitedLinux/1.0/patches' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/rpm'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/UnitedLinux/1.0/rpm' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/scripts'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/UnitedLinux/1.0/scripts' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-sles8/install'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-ul1/install' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-sles8/y2update'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-ul1/y2update' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-sles8'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/UnitedLinux/i386-sles8' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-ul1'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/UnitedLinux/i386-ul1' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/rpm/setup/descr' to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./UnitedLinux/setup/descr' Best Regards, Wang Jun

This is because SP3 has a special format, somehow using something similar to hardlinks or maybe real hardlinks. To solve this, just remove all the things you dont need. For example, you certainly dont need the contents of "i386" which is a copy of what is in "suse".. Anas
the steps I used as bellow:
1 loop mount the SP3 iso # mount -o loop SLES8-SP3.iso /media/cdrom
2 copy the content to a directory # mkdir -p /datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3 # cd /media/cdrom; cp -a . /datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3 when i run this command, the output give following error: cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/patches'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/UnitedLinux/1.0/patches' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/rpm'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/UnitedLinux/1.0/rpm' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/scripts'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/UnitedLinux/1.0/scripts' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-sles8/install'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-ul1/install' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-sles8/y2update'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-ul1/y2update' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-sles8'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/UnitedLinux/i386-sles8' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/suse/i386-ul1'to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./linux/UnitedLinux/i386-ul1' cp: will not create hard link'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8/rpm/setup/descr' to directory'/datashare/SLES8/UL/SP3/./UnitedLinux/setup/descr'
