it doesn't work :( I could boot from the dvd and it seemed to go though but after loading radi drivers when it gives a message (after blue screen): Running anaconda - please wait it takes along time to finally throw out these errors: traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda". line 63, in ? import signal, traceback, string, isys, util, time File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 18, in ? import _isys import Error:/lib/libcom_err.so.2:cannot read file data: Is a directory install exited normally As suggested I had copied the RPMS contents (of cd's needed) to that of cd 1 and ran genhdlist on my cd dir Is there any other way to create a single DVD for redhat 7.3 ? or can you help me out on where i went wrong?( I had read some where that I have to put all 3 disks number in .discinfo file..but it appears from mails that red hat 7.3 doesn't support that) vinay -----Original Message----- From: Joshi, Vinay (MED, GEMS-IT) Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 8:46 AM To: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: creating red hat 7.3 dvd Aln, Thx for the reply.
