Thats no problem. The catalog file will be created from 'mkisofs'.

Thats quite harder. I didn't understand the process for seperating the
whole system into two file trees. :-(

I helped me in that, that I created a second tree with fewer RPM's (only
those which are needed for normal installs, e.g. no 'devel', no foreign
language supports, etc.) and than remade the dependency- / hd-lists in
this tree with

   $ cd my_second_tree
   $ misc/genhdlists --distrib .
   $ misc/gendepslist2 -o Mandrake/base/depslist Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz2

The result ist one installable CD :-)) - but no extension CD :-(

My last build this way from yesterday (with some own RPM's and all
updated RPM's so far) is 693 MB big and fits just on a 80 Min CD.

Liebe Gr��e, Nora.
