Now some more serious testing and some changing in the script. It also solved the issue of the need of running with sudo for the mounting of the iso's. That can just stay in. :-)
Let me sidestep a bit and mention an issue I noticed. When I first tried makeSUSEdvd I couldn't use it as user because it expects sudo to be configured in such a way to require the root password to run. This is not typical, and IMO, insecure. Then I looked at the default '/etc/sudoers' file of 10.1. It says: # In the default (unconfigured) configuration, sudo asks for the root password. # This allows use of an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly # installed system. When configuring sudo, delete the two # following lines: Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'! That needed line for 'makeSUSEdvd' is the default during the installation and configuration phase of a system; but once in "production", those two lines are normally removed - meaning that sudoers have to use their own passwords and run only specified commands, not any random command they may want. The consequence is that on a "production" machine, 'makeSUSEdvd' can not run using sudo. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEX6VRtTMYHG2NR9URAi7dAJ0SCFkVHMYfjmR9cWzrI4M891YZTQCdHfVt d7HFfBgFUzmqe8BAffT7pXA= =D+oN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
