Really, what errors are you seeing? If it's a complain about missing volid
files, don't worry. It's a bug, but a non-serious one. Ah, or are you just
noticing it's building trees for the others too? What command-line are you
using?

You should run the genlist step to make _any_ binary CDs, unless you want
to supply the complete list of packages yourself. Perhaps I should
document this better, it was not always the case.
