Making an Install DVD



I have the SuSE CD image that I install from the DVD, but on my desktop,
I copied the DVD image to a local HD, and did a hard disk install. (I
cannot boot from my CD). The advantages of maintaining the data on the
HD is that if I need to add a package, I just bring up YaST and install.
No fumbling for CDs.

I was looking at the SuSE DVD and the CDs. 
Most of what you want are the rpms under the suse subdirectories. In
addition, each CD has a media.n directory containing a media code. I
suggest that you copy the first CD, then what I would do would be to
rsync the suse subdirectories of the other CDs, and possibly copy the
media.n directories, or edit the media.1/media and change the 5 to a 1.
