2512588Kb(Pensacola 4 disks) x3,4,6,12 times a year still seems like that little bitty 46900Kb is a bargan to me. About all you really save is that 468000Kb gets a bit smaller.
Oh and I am no expert on how to make a custom distro the first time I looked into it was in Late January. If you can mount an iso, rm, mv, edit 1 file "comps" and run the command "># genhdlist --withnumbers /location/of/disc1 /location/of/disc2" you can make a custom distro that works great. You will need to use 700mb discs though as the patches boost the size of the iso files. If you don't want to burn the additional cds just copy the contents of the RPMS directory from disc2 to disc1. Share that directory. Then you can use the boot floppy or original 7.2 boot CD and do a network install from http, nfs, or ftp. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Wilts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: confuse with errata to rpm nicely On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 12:53:28PM -0500, Paul Hamm wrote: > Like I said grab the iso files grab all the patches and roll your > own. That's fine for those of us with lots of bandwidth and expert knowledge. For those that have poor or expensive bandwidth, they're paying a very hefty premium. Some parts of the world pay by the amount of traffic and even some US ISPs are looking at or already are capping the traffic downloads. I'm happy with my own bandwidth and the price I pay - I'm fighting this issue for the little guys! For the record, the current size of the 7.2 errata in the i386 directory is 469,012,837 bytes. At 5kBps (for a 56kbps modem), this would amount to 26 HOURS of transfer time. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
