I copied both discs to /rh72. I figured out that I needed to move this to the `arch` directory, so I created a /rh72/i386 directory and moved everything there. I then tried ./splitdistro /rh72 i386, but it gets an error opening the fileorder file, and it cannot find the SRPMS directory. Because I do not want to recreate the SRPM CDs, I just made the empty directories: mkdir -p /rh72/SRPMS/SRPMS and I created an empty fileorder file: touch /rh72/fileorder Now I run ./splitdistro --fileorder /rh72/fileorder /rh72 i386 and it will put all of the rpms in disc1. I assume that is because the fileorder file is blank. Does anyone have a fileorder file, or know the syntax? Thanks, Forrest
