If I want to create a Fedora DVD, should I put all the RPMs in the same
directory or create a separate directory for each disk or some other
configuration? I assume that "askmethod" is hard disk.
Thanks

Not sure what the
correct answer is but you can search the list
archives for a script that will create a dvd for you.

There's a script called "mkdvdiso.sh" that will create a 'proper'
DVD
image for you. Search Google to find it. (BTW, I asked this exact
question about a week ago)

Since there is demand/interest for a DVD ISO, is it time for Fedora Crew
to start offering it with the CD ISOs? I know I would like to see this
happen.

The problem is disk space on the servers and mirrors. FC2t1 takes 11G
of disk space (and that is just one architecture); adding the DVD image
would take another 4G.

With the ISO images and the mkdvdiso.sh script mentioned, it's dead
simple creating a DVD ISO. Why not let people who want it create it
themselves and save the web/ftp servers the additional disk space?

You could also go the other way. Provide only DVD images and a script
for people who need "legacy media support" (ie. CDs).
Considering more and more systems are going to have DVD drives in the
future, and distros aren't getting any smaller, I think this makes more
sense "going forward", to use marketing speak. :)

Speak for yourself... I have no intention of buying a dvd-rw drive real
soon, and I'm sure most of people won't do this right now just because
of a distribution. Remember how long it took from the first cd-rom
drives until the widespread of cd-rw.
I remember corel draw 3 (or 4, dunno) used to come with a cd-rom,
because almost no one used to have it those times...

Which I personally disagree with, but I've already seen some issues of
Linux Format do that for their DVD distributions.

You cant stop technology from moving on, I have seen everything from the
first 386 cpu right through to the the latest XEON and no matter how
hard you try to be ahead, what was today will be something new tomorrow.
The good news is that dvd combo drives are in the peak of PC style
Hardware fashion. If you cant afford one its a pity, If you wont afford
one, then you are crying over pocket money. In SA they are already
selling at R385 which is approx R386 / 6 = $64 [Dollars] and R386 / 12 =
#32 [pounds] Peanuts if you asked me. trading your old and pay in the
difference it is worth it and you will only get left behind if you
don't.
As for linux on DVD great Idead for those of us who carry 50+ cds around
with us.
I personally keep a spare dvd drive [cost me R133 new] and converted
every thing to DVD. But I hit a brick wall everytime I try a Linux
Distro.
So YES YES YES to Lin on dvd
my R0.2c

the script doesn´t work, I have tried creating a folder and moving the
isos to the folder, I download the script to the folder and run it. this
is what I get.
[root@chadlin yarrow]# sh mkdvdiso.sh /mnt/backup/isos/yarrow/
/mnt/backup/isos/yarrow/yarrow-i386-dvd.iso
Found ISO CD images...
/dev/loop1: Invalid argument

What kernel are you running (run 'uname -a' from a shell prompt)? It
appears you do not have loopback support for some reason.

Yes, and you can find the script in
ftp://people.redhat.com/ckloiber/mkdvdiso.sh but never worked for me, I
always get this error:
mkisofs: Is a directory. Unable to open disc image file
ERROR: Error - Unable to open file %s

I used the following command-line:
server:~# sh mkdvdiso.sh /data/iso/FC2-test1-binary-i386 output.iso
Does that help?
