Compensate 0MB for comps file instead of 10MB none

Description Forrest 2003-11-04 00:09:15 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)

Description of problem:
Running splittree.py makes the disc1 directory 10 MB smaller than
needed.  This is from the self.comps_size = 10.0 * 1024 * 1024 line. 
The comps file is already there as witnessed by looking at the past
several releases where disc1 is at least 10MB smaller than disc2.

There is already 10MB leeway because you are trying to create discs
<640MB, so this isn't really needed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-9.2-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Run splittree.py
2.  It shows the size of disc1 to be 10MB less than disc2

Unfortunately, 640 is done instead of 650 because of some CD drives
being, to be blunt, crap.  RHN got a number of bug reports when the
size of the ISOs was over 645 megs or so and so I bumped it down to
something a little less.
Comment 3 Forrest 2003-11-05 21:20:31 UTC 
Ahh...  I wondered why it was 640MB.  What about disc2--it is usually
over 645MB?  Is it just a problem booting from disc 1?
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2003-11-05 21:31:02 UTC 
It was actually reading the CDs, not booting from them.  Unfortunately :(
Comment 5 Forrest 2003-11-05 21:46:14 UTC 
Hmm...that is bad.  Did you get any complaints about Red Hat Linux 9
Disc 2--it was 646.125MB?
Comment 6 Forrest 2003-11-05 21:50:25 UTC 
Also, why not change self.target_size to 640?
