hm, we do not plan to release DVDs for now. Wouldn't it make sense to have some script which fetches only the needed rpms from the ftp tree and builds $MEDIA afterwards ?
may I try to summarise. somebody in this thread asks for a definition of jigdo. I don't use (yet) jigdo myself, but I think I know what is it. it is exactly what the above citation asks for. a script that take rpm's from a ftp serveur and build distros cd's or dvd's. You have only one ftp tree, and from that you can have a large variation of supports, cd, dvd, live cd... it's based on wget, the famous web downloader, can resume interrupted downloads,... so the charge on the servers is less, on the client is less... I think there are few caveats. http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ anyway it can be proposed for nearly no effort,for thouse who like it :-) jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr
