However, I just put these in the top-level ("/") CDROM directory: > HARDWARE.TXT RELNOTES.TXT compat20/ info/ src/ > INSTALL.TXT XF86312@ des/ manpages/ xperimnt/ > MIRROR.SITES bin/ dict/ packages@ > README.TXT commerce/ floppies/ ports@ > READNOW.TXT compat1x/ games/ proflibs/ and add this to the top-level ("/") directory: ln -s . 2.2-960801-SNAP (I like having everything in the top-level directory, and so I do it this way. I know this works, as I did the 2.2-960801-SNAP upgrade from a CDROM made this way.) However, don't use any symlinks unless you want them put onto the CDROM. In particular, you probably want XF86312, packages, and ports to be the actual directories, and not symlinks (as you have them shown, above). [ For that matter, you probably don't want xperimnt and packages, as these are pretty huge. ] -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com http://web.sr.hp.com/~darrylo/
