What is the easiest way to decide if a given directory tree from a block device is an install media?

In grub2 for Xen PV guests a grub script has to decide if a menu has to be presented or not. The current approach is to do something like r=some_disk if test -e $r/content && test -e $r/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen && test -e $r/boot/x86_64/initrd-xen then show install menu show boot menu else show boot menu fi

I wonder if that is robust enough to decide if a given block device is an installation DVD or not. Should the script stat something else, or some additional files to be sure, like /media.1/directory.yast or /media.1/media?

In theory it starts with (optional) /media.1/products. /media.1/products contains the list of directories on the media that contain repos: / SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-..... The /content file is the master index of the repository in /. In theory we can have content in a subdir, if /media.1/products says so. Without /media.1/products the repo must be in /. So I'd test for '/media.1/products or /content' being present. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres SUSE LINUX GmbH, Development, ma@suse.de Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 74 053-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ SUSE Linux GmbH GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Jennifer Guild Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org
