Hello there I have managed to downlload an image of the SuSE 8.1 tree on a (large-ish ;-) hard disk. I would like to be able to use this to upgrade my 8.0 system. However, this is on a separate machine, one that I can't easily ftp to.
What I'd like to do, if possible, is to split up the downloaded tree into multiple CD directories, and then burn them onto CDs like the original distribution. I guess that the main thing to do would be to create the set of files that tell YAST what package is on what CD, for instance.
Can you give me any further pointers as to how I'd go about this?
Excuse me for asking but I'm curious: is the time and effort required on your part to achieve this really worth so little as to make this approach more attractive than going out and buying or ordering the distribution CD's at EUR43 for the upgrade package? Still, with a surname like that you've maybe got some Scottish blood in the family tree somewhere :-) Martin Drake Luxembourg
