&gt; anaconda is a special case because the binary rpm contains the source 
&gt; code (some of which I have included below).
&gt; 
&gt; Your .discinfo looks correct, comma separated list of cd numbers. It 
&gt; may well be a different issue. Are you still using iso9660? 
&gt; Unfortunately I don't have a DVD ROM or burner so I can't test :(
&gt; 
&gt; John.
&gt; 
&gt; /usr/lib/anaconda/image.py looks like the place:
&gt; if os.access(&quot;/mnt/source/.discinfo&quot;, os.R_OK):
&gt; f = open(&quot;/mnt/source/.discinfo&quot;)
&gt; newStamp = f.readline().strip()
&gt; try:
&gt; descr = f.readline().strip()
&gt; except:
&gt; descr = None
&gt; try:
&gt; arch = f.readline().strip()
&gt; except:
&gt; arch = None
&gt; try:
&gt; discNum = getDiscNums(f.readline().strip())
&gt; except:
&gt; discNum = [ 0 ]
&gt; f.close()
&gt; if (newStamp == timestamp and
&gt; arch == _arch and
&gt; needed in discNum):
&gt; done = 1
&gt; self.currentDisc = discNum
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; def getDiscNums(line):
&gt; # get the disc numbers for this disc
&gt; nums = line.split(&quot;,&quot;)
&gt; discNums = []
&gt; for num in nums:
&gt; discNums.append(int(num))

&gt;&gt;&gt; I am grabbing the source now and I'll have a look.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I edited the .discinfo file but still the installer does not
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; recognize the dvd as an instllation medium. I have attached the

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; looks like the installation program itself may need a bit of
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; adjusting..no idea.
