I need further clarification on this. I understood your previous input on how to remaster (man, that worked great!) but need more input on making the iso smaller (I can't get it lower than 780MB).MU wrote:you could create sfs files of the big games.
As they usually are not cluttered all over the filesystem, this is pretty easy.
Something like
mksquashfs /mnt/hda1/games games_301.sfs
So /mnt/hda1/games might look somewhat like this:
/mnt/hda1/games/usr/local/Nexuiz/nexuiz-glx.sh
/mnt/hda1/games/usr/local/Nexuiz/pak/pak.01
/mnt/hda1/games/usr/local/Nexuiz/pak/pak.02
/mnt/hda1/games/usr/local/Quake/quake-glx.sh
/mnt/hda1/games/usr/local/Quake/pak/pak.01
/mnt/hda1/games/usr/local/Quake/pak/pak.02
Like this you might be able to reduce the Iso to 700 MB to fit on a CD, and add 2 or 3 SFS files of around 700 MB.

Does the sfs need to have all the data for a game or just the starting script? Does it need to be put together the same way it is currently in the system? In other words, if attack is in /usr/local/attack then does the entire folder, it's contents need to be put in the same way in the sfs file? Just not sure exactly how the sfs works in relation to the running os...
Sorry for the hassle, but I figure it is wiser for me to get clarification now rather than creating invalid sfs files all over the place...
