Hi! Assuming I have all the files (basically I've downloaded the ISOs) of CentOS 4 (RC1 for now, but 4.0 in the future) how do I recreate the ISO images - both to regain the original 4 CDs (less important) - and to achieve a DVD image (more important but can probably be guessed from the answer to how to make the CDs). Any takers? [note I've burned many CDs - I'm basically asking for the command line to mkisofs et al to get an as near bit-perfect as possible ISO from source files only] Furthermore, even though I'm very new here, I'd suggest splitting up this mailing list into announce lists for the various releases (ie centos-announce-3.4 and the like, for updates/etc, with no posting by non-admins/maintainers) and a general discussion list (possibly also split into centos-2/3/4/all). Just my two cents. Cheers, MaZe.

The list would be low-volume anyhow, and C3 users would love to hear about the awaited C4 release from the one list they're on :) Splitting centos list doesn't make much sense because there will be less and less questions relating to older releases in time. Look at this months traffic - all of it relating to 3.x (the current "stable") and 4 RC1. This is not going to change in the future and the volume is acceptable atm. Lam

Why not use cdrecord instead of mkisofs, speed=2 for those who
dont even like jitter, although I would burn at full speed.
# cdrecord -v -eject speed=2 centos-disc1.iso
Then you can use the linux media check feature by typing that at the boot
prompt of the first CentOS CD to verify your burnt media.
