OpenSUSE 10.1 32/64 - Make 1 DVD from 5 CDs on any Linux distribution

mtmorphosis · 05-12-2006, 03:42 AM

Hi,

I found somewhere a script "suse10iso2dvd.sh" for dumping all 5 CD images into 1 DVD image. I tweaked it a bit and adjusted it to work so that you may use it from any Linux distro to create 1 DVD iso image for OpenSuse 10.1 32bit & 64bit. Find the two scripts bellow:

1. suse101_32iso2dvd.sh

# Uncomment this section if you have physical cds and want to convert them to
# ISOs first. You need to have the ISOs, named as in this script, for this
# script to work predictably.

#Mount the CDs in loopback mode:

# Create a basic structure to overwrite files we need to modify for the CD (the checksums and boot files).
cp -a CD1/boot .
mkdir i586 i686 noarch

# Create the NEW MD5SUMS as one file in order to allow SuSE to validate (thus install) all of the files from every CD and not just CD #1
# For the i586 directory:

# Now just burn the ISO to a DVD (hint: use 'growisofs' or your favorite GUI-frontend to 'growisofs'). Optionally, you can mount this ISO like you did #above to verify it will work correctly, or if you don't want to actually burn it. Just call:
#mkdir DVD

"Progress is the root of all evil, progress is the root of it all!"

According to the OpenSuSE site, this type of generic program won't produce an installable system from 10.1 onwards, because SuSE have introduced pgp signing for media. The amalgamated CD need to have the signing replaced. The OpenSuSE site does explain the CLI, but there is a makeSUSEdvd script (Perl?) to do it, anyway.

Progress from 10.0 to 10.1 ?

HTH,

OldAl.
