mkcd not working for me

atifraza82 · 07-13-2004, 07:02 PM

Hi every body, downloaded the whole mdk tree including the contrib and jpakage folders and had a look at the post http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=172899 in which some good things have been put up. Especially by iomari but I just can't get mkcd to work.

I have installed the mkcd rpm from the tree on my mdk 10 official with all the perl dependancies. writing the command as described but its output is the following errors not isos.

command: [root@ORION home]# mkcd --discsize 695m -t /home/iso -a -s /home/mdk10/i586/

output:

Could you try it again leaving out the -s option ? It looks like it doesn't like srpms for some reason.

This worked for me :

mkcd --discsize 4200m -t /mnt/windows -a -c 1 /mnt/windows/cooker

Note that this creates one dvd, and is for cooker. A directory called /mnt/windows/iso was created by this, I didn't have to specify it myself. Also if you run it more than once with different parameters you should clean out the hidden files it creates in your tmp directory.
