i've just skimmed the script, so i might have missed something, but what
about this script makes it a "hack"? actually, it seems pretty
straightforward:
- figure out where the CD contents are
- create a new DVD contents directory
- copy over .discinfo (common oversight)
- mkisofs ...
- optionally implant MD5 checksum
what's so "hacky" about this? just curious.

p.s. and, taking this one step further, is there a canonical site for
the more complicated process of customizing the most recent RH release?
you know, modifying comps.xml, "genhdlist" and so on. is there a primary
source for that doc these days? (i suspect asking on the anaconda list
would have been at least as appropriate.)
