<title>Multi-volume support</title>
<para><application>Sysinstall</application> supports multiple
volume package installations. This requires that each disc
have an <filename>INDEX</filename> file containing all of the
packages on all volumes of a set, along with an extra field
that indicates which volume that particular package is on.
Each volume in the set must also have the
<literal>CD_VOLUME</literal> variable set in the
<filename>cdrom.inf</filename> file so that sysinstall can
tell which volume is which. When a user attempts to install a
package that is not on the current disc, sysinstall will
prompt the user to insert the appropriate one.</para>
