And copy the .discinfo file into cd1 The easiest and best approach that worked for me was to merge all CDs into one directory to start with, and then later on use splitdistro. You can ignore duplicates for TRANS.TBL, GPG-KEY etc etc. First put *.rpm in $TOPDIR/$ARCH/RedHat/RPMS. Then run genhdlist to create new hdlist and hdlist2 for the first pass (i.e. just 'genhdlist $TOPDIR/$ARCH'). Then run pkgorder, splitdistro etc as usual. > > Then i downloaded from updates.redhat.com all the updates, remove any of > the rpms with an update and replace them with the appropriate updated rpm. > > I run a gpg check on all the rpms and do a dependency check in case I > fubared copying the data across. > > The last step is running genhdlist but it seems to be the problem I have > as well.
