[PlanetCCRMA] Self built RH9 install CD's

[Peter Lawler]

Hi Fernando (and Alex)
I'll combine responses here.

To both of you, thanks for your posts, certainly assists the confidence
levels on this side of the great ditch.

My main problem at the moent seems to be with the second apt enabled CD
complaining about the XFree-tools being a 'bad' image. As such, it's a
bad burn that I've managed to repeat twice. Thus, although what you've
provided is of great assistance, at the completion of the burn process
there's only two ways of testing the CD, manually going through checking
each RPM or trying an install. Both incredibly time consuming.

Please reconsider publishing accurate MD5's for home brewed CDROMs.

Cheers,

Pete.
