bug report time!!
Problems with the mkmydsl script.
i have tried it working 100% in ram (the way I usually do), using ext2 partition, ext3 partition, and fat32 partition as workspace.
it works like normal up to the point where it actually rolls the iso. Mkisofs i think. Anyway, in previous versions, mkisofs takes less than 2 seconds to roll the 300mb iso that I want, but in 0.9.0.1 it takes upwards of 5 minutes, gets an error at 99.91%, tries to eject the CD with the result of "multiple errors reported: last known error: device or resource busy". At this point, the Xterm (in X mode) or the console in runlevel 2 freezes.
The cd drive also remains unresponcive (sp?). If I do killall mkmydsl it returns "no processes killed. If I do killall mkisofs I get a seg fault (and one time a kernel panic, but I haven't been able to recreate that), and the whole system freezes up.
I have done this on 4 computers (my main desktop, my laptop, my brother's laptop, and the server in the office) that I have available with cd burners. Their hardware varies widely enough for me to rule out hardware problems.
I can also rule out bad isos and burns. I md5summed the iso and it checked out, and I mounted the iso and md5summed it and then md5summed the cd and they match.
Might try to use ISOtools or something later to hash my own iso, but I'm rather frustrated atm.

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
