Hi,<br><br>I&#39;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.  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?   I assume it comes from a<br>build of svn://<a href="http://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk" target="_blank">svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk</a>, but can&#39;t find how it ends up as a tar.xz<br>

<br>2. When I&#39;ve built a new stage2, any tricks on getting it into an ISO?<br><br>I tried building an ISO based on beta3, with the new stage2, using something like:<br>  mkisofs -o ~nelg/Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD/Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD-stage2.iso -b x86_64/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot.catalog  -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -iso-level 4 -J -R /tmp/tt/<br>

<br>This is clearly not right.  Is the a documented method I should use to build a new ISO with a modified stage2? <br>In the docs I have read: <a href="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks#rebuild_the_stage_2" target="_blank">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks#rebuild_the_stage_2</a><br>

and svn://<a href="http://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk/docs/README" target="_blank">svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk/docs/README</a>, I have not been able to find instructions on actually putting together an ISO.<br>
<br>Is: <a href="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/How_to_remaster_a_personal_Mandriva-based_ISO" target="_blank">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/How_to_remaster_a_personal_Mandriva-based_ISO</a>  relevant for Mageia?  I guess not, as mkcd does not seem to exist in Mageia.<br>
<br>So, a quick howto, or pointing me to the right documentation would be great :)<br><br>Regards<br>Glen Ogilvie<br><br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Please let in drakxtools &amp; drakx-installer-stage2<br>
<br>
drakxtools:<br>
========<br>
- bootloader-config:<br>
  o do not build initrd if no bootloader is detected and<br>
    --no-initd argument is supplied<br>
- diskdrake:<br>
  o actually preserve UUID when formatting (mga#9428)<br>
- drakauth:<br>
  o install nss-pam-ldapd instead of nss_ldap (mga#9375)<br>
<br>
drakx-installer-stage2<br>
================<br>
- do not disable module autoloading (mga#9428)<br>
- authentication:<br>
  o install nss-pam-ldapd instead of nss_ldap (mga#9375)<br>
- partitionning:<br>
  o actually preserve UUID when formatting (mga#9428)<br>
<br>
