7 A more "high level" guide for catalyst will come later as we "stabilize" the
8 inner workings of catalyst-2.x and get the reference guide finished.

24 Well, catalyst actually looks in two places. It will first look under
25 /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/${source_subpath} and try to rsync the contents. If that's
26 not found, it will look for /var/tmp/portage/builds/${source_subpath}.tar.bz2
27 and try to untar that.
28
29 In the case of livecd-stage1->livecd-stage2, there is no .tar.bz2 file, but
30 there will be stuff in the first location from the livecd-stage1 build.

37 You need to stabilize a newer genkernel (3.4.9_preX is fine) in your snapshot.
38 This is a bug in genkernel-3.4.8.
