Hi All,
I don't know if this is a problem with the RHEL installer or mrepo...

but I have the RHEL dvd configured and mrepo loop back mount's it under
4AS-i386/disc1


Well when I run the installer against the directory

http://hostname/mrepo/4AS-i386

and it starts to install the rpms, it dies on the first RPM and complains
that it cannot be found. Well a quick ctrl-alt-f2 and it looks ilke the
installer is looking for http://hostname/mrepo/4AS-i386/disc2 and continuing
the install it asks for disc3,and so on.

Well what I had to do to fix the problem was symlink

disc1 to disc2, disc3, disc4.

Should we have code in mrepo that if it detects your using a DVD to
automatically create the symlink'd disc? directories or should I complain to
RH?

Thanks,
Brent C.
