I want to test the generated isos because I'm getting an error (CD Not Found) everytime I try to use the cd's.


Check to see if .discinfo exists and what it contains.


.discinfo exists and I think it's ok. It's as follows:

"""
1112120333.341482
Fedora Core 3
i386
1
Fedora/base
Fedora/RPMS
Fedora/pixmaps
"""


I don't know what's the problem so I have to make a lot of tests to try to fix it.


Smells like you're missing a step somewhere - what guide are you
following


The guide I use is in fedoranews.org (http://fedoranews.org/contributors/gene_czarcinski/update_distro/) and the steps are these:

"""
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda
export PATH=â$PATH:/usr/lib/anaconda-runtimeâ
export FCBASE=/anaconda/base
mkdir -p $FCBASE/fc3/i386

mount /media/cdrom
cp -a /media/cdrom/* $FCBASE/fc3/i386/
umount /media/cdrom
# I do this with every CD (not SRCs).

# I don't edit comps.xml nor rpms, I just want to test if this works.

find $FCBASE/fc3 -name TRANS.TBL -exec rm -f {} \;
find $FCBASE/fc3 -name boot.cat -exec rm -f {} \;

"""

I think it's ok, right?


So, what do you think I can try? The nfs iso install? How can I try it?


nfs export a dir with the iso's and use the boot.iso.  Boot with linux
askmethod - see the previously mentioned install-methods.txt


I don't undrstand this really well but I'll try to check the file 'install-methods.txt'

Thanks again.
