One of the things I always wanted to do, but found too hard :(

The references I have are all ancient, but they are still fairly
relevant:

How to remaster your own ISO, from Mandriva Community Wiki:

<A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/How_to_remaster_a_personal_Mandriva-based_ISO">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/How_to_remaster_a_personal_Mandriva-based_ISO</A>

Very detailed, but will need to be updated.

There is a site at <A HREF="http://members.shaw.ca/mandrake/">http://members.shaw.ca/mandrake/</A> -- so ancient that
it talks about Mandrake!! on how to create an auto-install disk, to
streamline installation and answer all the repetitive questions.  The
Perl files it refers to are present in Mageia; I accepted an
invitation to download an RPM list in that format.  Now I have to work
out how to use it.

There is a new tool that Mandriva and Mageia use to generate disks for
a new release.  I can't find the reference, but a hunt around their
Wikis should turn it up.

HTH,

Doug.
