Re: .discinfo

I found some info, so I thought I would post it here. If anybody needed to knoe

This concerns the 4th line in .discinfo which is called disc number

------------------------------------------------------------------------

disc number (it seems you can "merge" files from two discs by using
disc number like '1,2,3'; this might be interesting for burning DVDs
without having to regenerate hdlist - e.g. do-it-yourself RH DVD*)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

That looks cool that means you dont have to regenerate hdlist, if all you want is to create 1 CD with rpms from the 3 CD's.

 

This is the link that got me there.

Hi,

Does anyone know what the .discinfo file is all about.It is present on your RedHat CDROM in the root folder. This is what my file says.

---------------------------------------

1042210737.983097
Redhat 8.0 (Psyche)

 

1,2,3
RedHat/base
RedHat/RPMS
RedHat/pixmaps
---------------------------------------

does anyone know what 1,2,3 mean.

Does it mean that the installer will look for 3 CD's

I am trying to get RPMS from 3 CD into one CD, I think build-install from anaconda-runtime generates this file.

Keith
