Hello! I have already figured out how to make a bootable SuSE linux distribution CD with mkisofs and cdrecord. No problem, works 100%. (Have not had a coaster in about 50CDs with my Mitsumi CR-4801 in linux 2.2, BTW.) Now, there is a lot of configuration files in suse/setup, suse/setup/descr, suse/images and whatever there is (cannot write it down from the top of my head). Some of these are read by yast to find out descriptions of packages, what/how many packages there are and so on. Can somebody please tell me, what files yast looks for/into, what needs to be there and all these things. What do I have to change when I add/delete packages from a distribution CD before I cdrecord it? Are there any scripts like in RedHat that do these things for you (Red Had uses something like src/install/genhdlist to generate a list of packages for the setup program). Nobody :) needs for example the french HOWTOs and the serbian man-pages and stuff like that. Instead things that are more useful for friends could go on the CD instead. Help would be much appreciated. I know, I could look through the Yast sources, but, hmmm, that is the last option, really. Perhaps somebody can point me to the right documents in case they are available online. But then, again, why should SuSE assist people in copying their CDs? (Although they cannot do anything about that and have to live with it.)
