I'm working on this atm. |

My catalyst patch starts from a stage3, compile all the stuff you |
| 19 |
specified in the spec file, copy the file you specified for each pkg in |
| 20 |
the chroot, handle required libs and co. It also compiles busybox and |
| 21 |
let you specify your config file for it. |
| 22 |
I still have to write support for the kernel compilation and the final |
| 23 |
netboot image generation. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Btw, I need info about generating such image for x86. I know how to do |
| 26 |
it for hppa but nfi for x86. :) |
