It +confirms +my understanding. What I would like to know is how to create / master the +DVD +installer ISO, and make that master contain a stage2 that I have built. + +I have been able to build a stage1 boot.iso, but what I would like is build +a +DVD image, based on Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD.iso, with just a different + stage2, and maybe a rebuilt stage1 if needed. + +I guess someone must know how Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD.iso, and the +other images get created. I don't want to rebuild all the packages that go +in +them, just assemble one with the same packages as +Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD.iso, and a updated install/stage2/mdkinst.sqf +file. + +Once this is figured out, I will happly update the Mageia wiki with +details, which +I think will be helpful for anyone wanting to make customised Mageia DVDs. + +Regards +Glen Ogilvie +-------------- next part -------------- +An HTML attachment was scrubbed... +URL: </pipermail/mageia-dev/attachments/20130323/a618f4bb/attachment-0001.html> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="023717.html">[Mageia-dev] drakxtools & drakx-installer-stage2 (mga#9428) +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="023739.html">[Mageia-dev] drakxtools & drakx-installer-stage2 (mga#9428) +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#23725">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#23725">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#23725">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#23725">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
