Well, I assume you are talking about the catalyst build? I am trying to stay |
| 2 |
away from the catalyst utilities. I do not want to build a whole new livecd |
| 3 |
image. I just want to use the x86 minimal livecd image I downloaded. I do |
| 4 |
not see any livecd-stage2.spec file on that CD. I am not at all familiar |
| 5 |
with catalyst and I was not planning on spending the time learning it. I |
| 6 |
thought this would be a relatively simple task -- just unpacking the files |
| 7 |
on the CD, adding a couple in, and repackaging them. Can I not do it this |
| 8 |
way? |
