Creating CD from ftp area



I'm ready to cut a CD-ROM of the 5.0 ftp area and notice that it is NOT
structured so that a CD can be cut and used to do an install.  The README
says the structure should be:

/mnt/redhat
  |----> RedHat
           |----> RPMS         -- binary packages
           |----> base         -- small filesystem setup archives
           |----> instimage    -- image used for graphical installs
  |----> images                -- boot and ramdisk images
  |----> dosutils              -- installation utilities for DOS
  |----> doc                   -- various FAQs and HOWTOs
  |----> misc                  -- source files, install trees
  |----> live                  -- live filesystem
  |----> COPYING               -- copyright information
  |----> README                -- this file
  |----> RPM-PGP-KEY           -- PGP signature for packages from Red Hat


What I have (ignoring the root path to get to it on my system):

  |----> RedHat
           |----> RPMS
           |----> base
           |----> i386         -- a zero length file
           |----> instimage
  |----> .build_log
  |----> images
  |----> dosutils
  |----> doc
  |----> misc
  |----> COPYING
  |----> README
  |----> RPM-PGP-KEY

The "live" directory is missing in 5.0.  Is this correct, a change for the
5.0 install?  Besides making all of the stuff root.root, are there any files
that need to be set executable?

Thanks
