Hello,
I'm just curious. Is it possible to make a patch cd from the downloaded patches from YOU so that I can install them on another computer? What is to be done with the delta patches?
Thank you, Mrugesh Karnik Registered Linux User #375243
Yes, you have to create the directory structure for it with the files under their respective directories, the same as they are laid out on the site, e.g barrabas:/ftp/jan05 # l -R /ISO/i386/update/9.1/ /ISO/i386/update/9.1/: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 2004-11-08 13:56 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2004-11-08 13:56 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2004-08-10 13:29 patches/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2004-11-08 13:56 rpm/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2004-08-10 13:39 scripts/ /ISO/i386/update/9.1/patches: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2004-08-10 13:29 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 2004-11-08 13:56 ../ /ISO/i386/update/9.1/rpm: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2004-11-08 13:56 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 2004-11-08 13:56 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2004-08-10 13:54 i586/ /ISO/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2004-08-10 13:54 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 2004-11-08 13:56 ../ /ISO/i386/update/9.1/scripts: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2004-08-10 13:39 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 2004-11-08 13:56 ../ The CD has to have the /i386/ as its root directory. In the example above I removed the files so as to avoid clutter here. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
