The only constraint is that you can only have the isos from one release per directory (ie, don't mix Red Hat Linux 8.0 and 9 isos in the same directory). We walk the directory listing and look to see if each file looks like an ISO. If it does, we look at the disc stamp (/.discinfo) to figure out which disc number it is. And thus, you can have them named Tom, Dick, and Harry for all that anaconda cares :) Cheers, Jeremy
