I have an ugly solution for you: mount /data/disc1.iso /data/disc1 mount /data/disc2.iso /data/disc2 ln -s /data/disc1/RedHat/RPMS/* /data/repos/RedHat/RPMS/ ln -s /data/disc2/RedHat/RPMS/* /data/repos/RedHat/RPMS/ You'll need to use full path names for the 'real' folder containing the (mounted) rpm's. But it works. It's the only way I can think of that could generate something like overlap. You can always throw away the symlinks using rm -f /data/repos/RedHat/RPMS/* and build them again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Williamson" <larry@xxxxxxxxx> To: <kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 5:05 PM Subject: Kickstart server setup (how to avoid unpacking the iso images?) > > Till now, I have always kept a copy of the ISO images from redhat.com > on our kickstart server in a sibling directory of the one where I unpack > them for kickstart's use.
