I started to try the disc-less installation method from the link posted by houghi. I'm sure it would've worked okay, but there were some

for the makeSUSEdvd script which I didn't have and I didn't take the time to track down all of them.
What extra's were required? What I know the script needs only the following: create_package_descr This can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/makesusedvd as indicated in the last version of the script. mkisofs wich should be easily installable with RedHat. rpm and I am not sure what distro you are using, so I do not know wether or not it is available. As you say you are a longtime RedHat user, I useme you run that and then it is availble.
I am really curious what prerequirements you did not meet.
The deal-breaker for me was RPM. ( http://www.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs#You_do_not_have_SUSE_running) At the time, I was on Ubuntu: a Debian based distro which doesn't have RPM. I installed Ubuntu because I had formatted my hard drive earlier without thoroughly checking my discs. So, I was without an OS. The install disc cam with an issue of Linux Format magazine. In a way, I'm glad it happened. Ubuntu is a nice distro. I think it's ideal for someone new who is past the LiveCD phase of trying out Linux and wants to put Linux on their system. The installation doesn't give you any choices... it just installs Linux and there you are... everything works. I like choices... I spend an hour just going through package selections when I do an installation for myself, but I think that most people migrating from Windows want it to just install and work. -- Vince houghi
