Hi all!

Would it be possible to create an iso image containing the complete fedora
distribution that can be burned onto a DVD disc?

I am not familiar with the structure of fedora packages and installation
discs but my guess is that I would not be that difficult. For me at least
it would be very convenient and I think in the near future this option will
be desired by more people.

thanks,

Although I don't really enjoy quoting myself... I'll make an
exception... By this way you can generate an iso from a distribution
tree, because right now only that one is up-to date.
You can mirror ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386...

I can see that every-one wants iso's... Well if you have a DVD-R I can
give you the command to generate an ISO from the distribution tree:

cd /$distribution_tree
#e.g. cd /opt/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386

mkisofs -A Fedora\ Core\ 1/i386 -V Fedora\ Core\ 1/i386 -J -R -v -T -o
fedora-core.RC1-i386-DVD.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .

/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantisomd5 fedora-core.RC1-i386-DVD.iso

You can use this command to generate a ~2.2GB iso which is excellent for
VMWare or DVD-R's...

Ntz...Ntz...Ntz... so impatient... should warn you though that there are
absolutely no differences from an updated Severn Test3...

Your choice...

It should be there for FC1.

But no guarantees,
