Title: HowTo: Converting Dual-Layer DVD install into a Single-Layer DVD Description: Reduce the size of the DVD Version: Final Linux Version: Should work in any bash
Here is a small script which solves this problem, as only recently newer hardware features DVD-DL reading, and some may face problem when installing on older systems. Just make sure you have enough free space on disk - about 15 GB. Copy text below and paste into empty text file, named, for example, ¨rebuild_suse.sh¨, then run: ~> chmod ugo+x rebuild_suse.sh in order to make it executable, and place all stuff in corresponding directories, and finally, execute script and wait for around 15 - 30 min (according to PC specs). Do not forget to adjust script´s working directories according to your system setup! See comments in the script below. #!/bin/bash # ************************************************************* # *** Script which converts dual-layer DVD image of SuSE Linux # *** to more commonly used single-layer 4.3 GB DVD by means # *** of removing 64-bit stuff, games and all language # *** translations except English. Was tested with SuSE 9.2/9.3 # *** # *** You should run this script as root. # *** # *** It assumes that original SuSE ISO image made from # *** dual-layer DVD is named ¨suse_dvd_orig.iso¨ and is located # *** in ¨/home/andrei/SLP_ISOs¨, but you can simply change this # *** path according to your system setup, just make ¨Find¨ and # *** ¨Replace All¨ in any text editor. New smaller SuSE DVD # *** image will be named ¨suse_no64.iso¨ and will be located in # *** the same directory where original ISO is. # *** # *** I did not wrote this script myself, I just took it somewhere # *** and slightly modified because original one worked fine with # *** with SuSE Pro 9.2 but not with SuSE 9.3 (some extra items # *** like games need to removed to achieve requested size of ISO # *** image, while RPM named "yast-trans-stats" should be # *** kept), so say your thanks to unknown Open Source hero. # *** # ************************************************************* echo "Starting and Preparing..." cd /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs chmod -v ugo+r *.iso rm suse_no64.iso mkdir /media/iso_mounted chmod -v ugo+rw /media/iso_mounted mkdir suse_no64 chmod -v ugo+rwx suse_no64 echo "Mounting ISO Image..." mount -v -o loop -t iso9660 suse_dvd_orig.iso /media/iso_mounted #-------------- echo "Copying Content of Original ISO Image..." cp -R -p -u /media/iso_mounted/* \ /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64/ echo "Unmounting ISO Image..." umount /media/iso_mounted #-------------- echo "Deleting 64-bit Stuff..." rm -R /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64/suse/x86_64 #-------------- echo "Removing Unnecessary Things..." rm -R /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64/dosutils cd /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64/suse/i586 rm bzflag* rm bos* rm FlightGear* rm fillets-ng-data* rm FOTAQ* rm freeciv* rm madbomber* rm MainActor* rm neverball* rm OpenOffice_org-de* rm pingus* rm pysol* rm torcs* rm trackballs* rm trophy* rm tuxracer* rm wesnoth* ls --color=never OpenOffice_org-[a-z]*|egrep -v "(gnome)|(kde)|(Quick)|(-ru-)|(-en-)"|xargs rm cd /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64/suse/noarch ls --color=never yast2-trans-*|egrep -v "(-en)|(-ru)|(-trans-stats)"|xargs rm ls --color=never susetour-[a-z]*|grep -v ru|grep -v en|xargs rm ls --color=never susehelp_[a-z]*|grep -v ru|grep -v en|xargs rm ls --color=never suselinux-adminguide*|egrep -v "(_ru)|(_en)"|xargs rm ls --color=never suselinux-userguide*|egrep -v "(_ru)|(_en)"|xargs rm ls --color=never k*-i18n*|egrep -v -- "-(ru)|(en)"|xargs rm #-------------- echo "Generating New ISO Image" cd /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64/ mkisofs -o /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64.iso \ -b boot/loader/isolinux.bin \ -c boot/loader/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -l \ -R -r /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64 chmod -v ugo+rw /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64.iso echo "Deleting temp dir..." rm -R /home/andrei/SLP_ISOs/suse_no64 echo "!!! Done !!!" Also, change added languages, the one you want, in my case added is Russian. With the above script I got my final size 4,432MB, good enough to fit on one SD-DVD Hope it works for you!
