+ mdk-stage1 subdirectory, do a "make dist-svn".&nbsp; This should produce
+ the tar.xz in the mdk-stage1 directory.<br>

+ <br>
+ The tar.xz you built above becomes one of the SOURCES for the
+ drakx-installer-binaries package.&nbsp; If you bring that package down to
+ your rpm/SRPMS directory and do an "rpm -ivh" on it, you'll find a
+ tar.xz file for mdk-stage1 in rpm/SOURCES.&nbsp; You can either replace
+ this with the one you generated above, or I think there is a
+ --(keyword) that will tell rpm to look somewhere else (your svn
+ directory) for SOURCES.<br>
+ <br>
+ Then rebuild drakx-installer-binaries with the new tar.xz.<br>
+ <br>
+ Finally, download the SRPM for drakx-installer-images, and build
+ *it* using the new drakx-installer-binaries.&nbsp; The final binary rpm
+ will include all of the stuff (like boot.iso) that goes in the
+ install directories of the cauldron tree.<br>
