[arch-general] mkisofs question
Can any options be used with mkisofs to tell it if an single image will have a size larger than 1 dvd can hold, make as many additional images as necessary so that everything will fit on more than a single dvd? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html

From the mkisofs manpage:
-split-output Split the output image into several files of approximately 1 GB. This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but close enough. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

This was a solution for the days when not all OS have been large file aware. It definitely does not help to split data across more than one media.
