+BCD a new tool to build Mandriva ISO
+
+This tool has been fully writen from scratch.
+I spend a lot of time to understand how to use
+mkcd and all this secrets... i am now a master
+of mkcd, but mkcd's design is quite old
+and a lot of features are no more used.
+Morever adding the suggest support was a pain, 
+(they are still some bugs with 64b arch and
+i don't know why...).
+
+I write some specifications for this new tools:
+http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Tools/mkcd/Specification
+
+Major problem of Mkcd was the understanding
+of the deps algo... so now to avoid
+the problem of multi-media with sub-media like
+updates and so on... i use urpmi wich
+is the greatest tool i know to solve all
+kinds of conflicts, deps and other rpm problem.
+
+result:
+it takes me now less that 1 minute to
+build an ISO of 650 mo with a Mandrva's repositery
+with release and updates media !
+It's really better than the previous 5 minutes,
+and i do not need to take care of release
+of software (especially update) because urpmi
+kow how to handle them :)
+
+
+NOTE : Your user MUST be sudoers to use urpmi !
+
+
+CAUTION: XML syntax is strict.
+i highly recommand to base your conf on the one provided 
+with this packages.
