Yes, you need to go into install subdirectory (if I remember the name correctly)

Ah, great.  Thank you.. That does the trick. :)

Would anyone mind if update https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks, and then update the URL in the spec file of drakx-installer-stage2 to point to it, along with a comment on how to create the source tar.xz
Current URL in the spec is: http://wiki.mandriva.com/Tools/DrakX  (which just goes to Mandriva's main wiki page)
