6 I don't complain. I think I don't explain very well.
7 I'll try again.
8 I took specs in livecd-specs.
9 I tried to build with them and I had this conflict (ipw2100 & ipw2200)
10 I never thougth my snapshot was different than yours.
11 Now, I can understand that we don't have identical environnement, and, as
12 I wanted to have an up-to-date build, the only solution I found (bad, I
13 know) was to remove one of the 2 packages. I choose ipw2100.

18 Yes, of course, I generaly do what is 'suggested' in documentations ;-)

25 Ok.
26 My first tries were with thoses specs, but I never reach end of build.
27 So, I took specs in livecd-specs, and it doesn't contain this
28 portage_confdir, and I forgot to go to thoses examples.
29 In this example (livecd-stage1_template.spec), does options examples the
30 defaults you used to build the iso ? Because, options are empty and it
31 does not help me to begin.

63
64 You can take time when you understand something, but when you understand
65 anything, it's more difficult ;-)
66 But, I know I'll need time...

71 Of course.

84
85 Ah, not portage_postdir anymore ?
86 And, If I want a USE is used by only one package (for exemple a plugin for
87 mozilla, but I don't want all packages with USE="mozilla") ?
88
89 Another question, important even if I forgot it before, what is the best
90 way to modify some configuration files eg : /etc/fstab to mount nfs etc...
91 ?
92 I don't think it is modifying catalyst scripts !
