Guest josetann Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I'd like to know how I can add the contrib packages to make one bootable DVD. I downloaded cooker this past Sunday and was able to make a bootable DVD using that, plus all the packages seem to be the same version as in 9.1 so it looks like I got a jump start on 9.1 :) Anyways it asked me for the contrib cd and of course I didn't have one, but I'd like to make a new iso with it and have it available for download from my site. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest josetann Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Anyone? I doubt it's as simple as throwing the RPMs into the existing Mandrake/RPMS directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I've read it on mandrake forum end posted it a couple a days ago on this board. With iso-manipultingsoftware, you can throw the extra rpms in teh first rpms ...Have to ask on that further, but suppose the ropm directory. I don't know any isomanip-)software, but I'm sure if you first have all the iso's on harddisk, you can mount the iso's as a seperate filesystem and put the one iso in teh other..Should work to my opinion. Mounting of the iso's on harddisk can be done, as simple as mounting a cd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest josetann Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 I may try just putting the contrib rpm's into the Mandrake/RPMS directory, but I just don't think it'd be that easy. Don't have to worry about mounting and editing iso's, I just put everything under one directory and make my own iso...actually did this on accident when I downloaded cooker and tried to make iso's out of it and ended up with one huge iso...I was able to burn it to DVD and it booted fine. I may just make an iso without contribs, but it'd be nicer to have the contribs since there's plenty of space with a DVD. I plan on making the image downloadable from my site so if you can think of anything that should be added, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
