grendal Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I was using this how to : http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=10600 to generaate a hdlist bbut ran into this: su[steve@localhost steve]$ su Password: [root@localhost steve]# genhdlist /home/steve/rpms/ Directory path to parse should be relative at /usr/bin/genhdlist line 63. [root@localhost steve]# so I went to line 63 and it doesn't make sense to me : line 63 : grep { m!^/! } @dir and die "Directory path to parse should be relative"; l I should add I'm running mandy 10.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Try genhdlist ./rpms or genhdlist rpms Since you are already in the directory that contains the rpms directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpatrick Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Try dropping the trailing "/" on rpms, i.e the path should be: /home/steve/rpms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 I got it to work by adding this option : --dest so it looked like this : genhdlist --dest /home/steve/rpms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
