     81 1. First, download everything under the architecture for which you wish to build.
     82If your architecture is x86-64, download all the files under
     83http://www.elders.princeton.edu/PU_IAS/data/PU_IAS/5/en/os/x86_64/
     84 1. IMPORTANT: Make sure you also download .discinfo file.  That means you'll need to download at the minimum .discinfo and GPL files, images, isolinux and all subdirectories directories.
     85 1. Next change to the directory in which you downloaded these files.
     86 1. In order to decrease the size of the resulting image you can run "hardlink -c . ." (assuming you are in the directory with downloaded files).  This should reduce the resulting DVD image by more then 2GB (this is so because the image contains both Client+Workstation and Server variants of the OS and therefore there is a lot of duplication).  If you do not have hardlink installed on your system please use Yum to install it ("yum -y install hardlink").  Alternatively you could drop from the image either Client+Workstation dirs or Server - depending on which one you intend to use.
     87 1. Then ensure you have the dvd+rw tools package installed (you'll need growisofs).
     88 1. Run growisofs to build the iso image and burn it directly to your media. The command below assumes your dvdburner is symlinked to /dev/dvd
