I currently need to have distributions available as ISO's to burn, and as NFS (or HTTP) shares for network installs. In order to save disk space, I currently only store the ISO's, and then loop-back mount them to share their contents. This makes multi-ISO releases (that need to be merged) a pain. It forces me to copy out (unless the extra media can just be mounted inside or beside the first?) the contents and use twice the disk space. So I really prefer a single ISO. But at the same time, I need to have a full mirror of everything local. 'Spins' (unless I don't understand them?) won't really work for me (seems like a lot of Duplication inf the ISO's? - If I have a full set of the RPMs, can't spins be just a package lists?) I'm not sure what the solution is really. I can mount a single ISO no matter how big it gets, but if it's bigger than I can burn then I'm back in the situation of needing a second (mostly the same) ISO to burn for people. Maybe mulitple ~4.3GB ISO's is a better solution, as long as one can just mount discs 2, 3, etc. inside disc 1. > -Connie Sieh > > _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list > mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMyXJ6AAoJEEADRM+bKN5w9/wH/2ggvpXATBaBfaiYFeA6QKok Rns7HCMeuxul9qyd8TAdBVfrATETtjY2jnwvcoq2O2WFefPWsSfQ0pnVO2T+brai 9gCeTu18WPVBjQFOp+WlGOwUdAjP5jzqT+MpNxJaNxpITflcMFBVBZHOm35y2yml 7+dMyvkrNVirD8zfAfMmzcgI+321NO1xIWkQyMCg45VxaVk3pghsLzfVSpqIEs6E DzesH1TriJUI6BFsk9B11kA5YzzPqp6N1+YgC+c1hEbwDn7DkJ2dCNrD0spWM6nR fd4jk16lp70MWX3kjqW4cFZt0xuTDVPuNogmBEGamRrNX4qr+EgjO9wzj4ssqgk= =AE3S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
