This seems overly complex for my needs. I don't want (or need) to rebuild all 6 of the install CDs. I just want to *replace* one RPM on the first CD. I have copied the CD's directory tree to a writable file system and replaced the rpm in question. I now need to just make a new ISO file and all I need is the proper command line arguments to mkisofs to do this. I am *NOT* creating a new distribution. And I really don't want to mess with a complex GUI program or edit many configuration files. I would also rather do this on my CentOS 4.7 system (revisor does not seem to be available for CentOS 4 / RHEL 4). Running it on a diskless workstation with a read-only root file system is a total pain. And will become even more painful when I then have to mount a large file system with NFS. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
