Now, at this point, you'll have a proper checkout and be ready to go.  I
don't recommend using the 2008.0 specs until after they're finalized and
the release is made.

It's very simple.  Start with stage1, then stage2, then stage3, then
proceed on to your different CD media.  I'd suggest starting with
installcd-stage1, rather than livecd-stage1.  Make changes.  See what
those changes actually end up doing.  Read the specs
in /usr/share/doc/catalyst-*/examples...
