Re: Driver Disk v3 format

Hi,

yes this structure describes the layout of data in some container. We do not really care much if it is .iso, fat, ext3, cpio or squashfs if we can mount it.

If you want to use the automatic detection (dlabel) you have to use container which supports labels.

And that's it. Nothing complicated regarding modules.cgz or modules-info like in rhel5 format. You just package the modules as rpms and create a repository for them on some media and using the described structure.
