Now, at this point, you'll have a proper checkout and be ready to go. I |
18 |
don't recommend using the 2008.0 specs until after they're finalized and |
19 |
the release is made. |

It's very simple. Start with stage1, then stage2, then stage3, then |
22 |
proceed on to your different CD media. I'd suggest starting with |
23 |
installcd-stage1, rather than livecd-stage1. Make changes. See what |
24 |
those changes actually end up doing. Read the specs |
25 |
in /usr/share/doc/catalyst-*/examples... |
