From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020326 Description of problem: i have been playing with the splitdistro that is included with the 7.2 version of anaconda. when wanted to span more than 2 binary CDs i discovered that splitodisto would have to be modified. so i went and grabbed the latest version from skipjack and saw that it would work. but i figured that as soon as i needed to go more than 3 CDs i would run into the same problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put enough RPMS in ths i386/RedHat/RPMS directory to fill 3 CDS 2. run splitdistro against it 3. notice that disc2 is too large to fit on a CD Actual Results: i386-disc2 was over 800 megabytes Expected Results: splitdistro should know how many CDs to create and make the hierarchies the correct size.

Unfortunately, this doesn't let us get away with doing things like 2.5 binary, 2.5 source CDs like we're currently doing for skipjack, so this isn't a great solution either. :(
i'll clean that up and diff it against skipjack. shouldn't be too hard to get in.
Without patches, this is just going to get updated as we need new functionality
