Hi,
Anyone using makeSUSEdvd with the DVD iso as source for the remaking?
I have just tried this, but the documentation is only based on cd
sources. I failed. I guess this will work for just upgrading the DVD,
or is there some other clever way on how to add rpms and making a new
DVD iso?

best regards,
Mike

I use a different method, which helps me get rid of the old rpms when
putting new ones to the DVD:

I copied the DVD to a folder, remarked two lines in the makeSUSEdvd script
so that it doesn't try to mount and unmount the cd and select cd source, not
iso.

This way I have the sources on the hd and I can inject there the new rpms,
delete the old versions, and run makesusedvd with the -I switch to create
the iso (while answering No to additional RPMs because they are already
included).

I use smart to update the vmware system I run, but I keep the updates with:

smart config --set remove-packages=false

Then, I copy the new rpms to the folder with the installation source, delete
their old versions, and so on...

However, I cannot find a way to replace the initrd and kernel that control
the installation of the system. Can someone point me to the right direction,
please?

Regards,
Yianni.

Thanks alot for your good documentaion in your reply, you have put me
on the right track.

Yours,
Truly
