Please try catalyst-2.0.6_pre8, which is pretty new and should work just |
| 6 |
fine for whatever you need. Also, check out genkernel-3.4.10_pre3, |
| 7 |
which I literally just added to the tree. |

Ehh, this very well could be causing you all kinds of problems. |

Since catalyst does all of its building in "storedir" |
| 15 |
or /var/tmp/catalyst, by default. In fact, it won't do anything outside |
| 16 |
of /var/tmp/catalyst, and then each target is built in a chroot, also. |
| 17 |
So, building a typical package with default settings, you end up |
| 18 |
extracting to /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp, then chrooting into there, before |
| 19 |
anything else is done. |

Again, it is safe to run on your main install. The only files it cares |
| 22 |
about from your running system are all in /etc/catalyst |
| 23 |
or /var/tmp/catalyst and nowhere else, unless you configure it to do so. |
