bcd should run basic checks on the tree before actually calling genisoimage... This would catch basic errors before the ISOs get d/l & tested by users. See bug #12140 Suggested tests would be: - is there a synthesis for all media (core/nonfree/tainted + 32 bits one on x86_64) - is the tree installable: ROOT=/tmp/root-$$ urpmi.addmedia --distrib file:/where/the/tree/is --urpmi-root $ROOT urpmi --urpmi-root $ROOT --justdb --auto --tune-rpm=all #check it runs fine: #- bash: $? #- perl: system("...") ==0 or die "system is uninstallable!" #check that basesystem did got installed: rpm -q --root=$ROOT basesystem - the same test with task-gnome-minimal, task-kde4-minimal, ... - whatever came when remembering previous failed isos ...

feel free to do it

This bug is terribly old. Is it still relevant? I think not: ISO size limits are pre-defined for different media.

bcd is no longer used for generating the ISOs.
