The configuration is the same in linux.
I then must be running Hurd, because I don't have that configuration. My goal is to run it all completely as user (and perhaps only sudo to YaST) This means editing sudoers defeats the purpose that I am aiming for. As this was not possible (I did not have the knowledge) I then decided to use sudo for those parts that needed it. This was only mount and cleanup after a mount. As there seems to be a way to do it with something included with mkisofs and as mkisofs is already needed, that will be the way I am looking now. I also want the program to use as little extra programs as possible, so another perl program to do that won't happen. That is also the reason I do not include create_package_descr in the package, although I might need to find a solution for the -C option that is now needed.
Well, it means that many people are using sudo in an unsecure way, one that is intended as provisional and temporary.
That is an altogether different discussion and has nothing to do with makeSUSEdvd. If that is what you want to talk about, perhaps using a different sugbject might have been better. OTOH if you have an easy solution on how to copy files to a directory using /usr/share/mc/extfs/iso9660 or better, using isoinfo, or any other of the other tools included with mkisofs, I would gladly to replace sudo. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
