I know this is going back a ways but now I'm having problems getting the scripts to all certain packages (e.g. firefox and gaim). I am using the attached file (install.txt) as my PKGFILE. Most of the programs end up in the ISO but ctrace, firefox, gaim, and gaim-encryption don't make it for some reason. I have an image of my last ISO creation (yes, this has happened multiple times) at http://www.thegeekzone.com/images/build.jpg if that would be helpful. As you can see the scripts say "Copying 341 packages" but the copy appears to end at 336 packages. I am happy to provide any further information that may help.
