      <br>
      I've been trying to test the installer change below before RC4,
      thinking that it might be quite helpful.<br>
      <br>
      I am having a little bit of trouble however.&nbsp; Could someone point
      me in the right direction on a couple<br>
      of things.<br>
      <br>
      1. How does the src tar.xz file for drakx-installer-stage2 get
      created?&nbsp;&nbsp; I assume it comes from a<br>
      build of svn://<a moz-do-not-send="true"
        href="http://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk"
        target="_blank">svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk</a>, but
      can't find how it ends up as a tar.xz<br>

    I'm maybe about two days ahead of you on this, but here's what I
    think happens, FWIW.&nbsp; You do your checkout, and then in the
    mdk-stage1 subdirectory, do a "make dist-svn".&nbsp; This should produce
    the tar.xz in the mdk-stage1 directory.<br>

      2. When I've built a new stage2, any tricks on getting it into an
      ISO?<br>
    </blockquote>
    <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>
