Currently, much of the ISO generation is done manually. As for what is |
| 28 |
done upto livecd-stage1, I have actually said many times how to |
| 29 |
accomplish this. Take every package from the published "packagecd.spec" |
| 30 |
for x86, add them to the end of "livecd-stage1.spec" and you're done. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
To use my spec files, you would need my hand-hacked copy of catalyst, |
| 33 |
which is currently useless on anything but my machine, since it has tons |
| 34 |
of hard-coded information (distcc hosts, paths, etc) that I have no |
| 35 |
plans on sanitizing just to release, considering it is a modification |
| 36 |
from catalyst 1.1.10.10, and the catalyst 1.x line has reached EOL as we |
| 37 |
are moving all development to catalyst 2.0, which will be capable of |
| 38 |
building a LiveCD similar to mine. At that time, I'll release specs |
| 39 |
designed for catalyst 2.0 for public consumption. |
