Hi, I've been trying to test the installer change below before RC4, thinking that it might be quite helpful.
I am having a little bit of trouble however. Could someone point me in the right direction on a couple of things. 1. How does the src tar.xz file for drakx-installer-stage2 get created? I assume it comes from a build of svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk, but can't find how it ends up as a tar.xz 2. When I've built a new stage2, any tricks on getting it into an ISO? I tried building an ISO based on beta3, with the new stage2, using something like: mkisofs -o ~nelg/Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD/Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD-stage2.iso -b x86_64/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot.catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -iso-level 4 -J -R /tmp/tt/ This is clearly not right. Is the a documented method I should use to build a new ISO with a modified stage2? In the docs I have read: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks#rebuild_the_stage_2 and svn://svn.mageia.org/svn/soft/drakx/trunk/docs/README, I have not been able to find instructions on actually putting together an ISO. Is: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/How_to_remaster_a_personal_Mandriva-based_ISO relevant for Mageia? I guess not, as mkcd does not seem to exist in Mageia. So, a quick howto, or pointing me to the right documentation would be great :) Regards Glen Ogilvie On 22 March 2013 12:15, Thierry Vignaud <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > Please let in drakxtools & drakx-installer-stage2 > > drakxtools: > ======== > - bootloader-config: > o do not build initrd if no bootloader is detected and > --no-initd argument is supplied > - diskdrake: > o actually preserve UUID when formatting (mga#9428) > - drakauth: > o install nss-pam-ldapd instead of nss_ldap (mga#9375) > > drakx-installer-stage2 > ================ > - do not disable module autoloading (mga#9428) > - authentication: > o install nss-pam-ldapd instead of nss_ldap (mga#9375) > - partitionning: > o actually preserve UUID when formatting (mga#9428) > > thx >
