Hello Drew There are quite a few pages about the build process, as well as more information in the qubes-builder/doc directory. Also, there are a number of config files in example-configs. Finally, if you run ./setup in the builder directory you can choose the flavour you want - also , this will generate quite detailed builder.conf which should make the options a little clearer. Finally, you are quite right. The build process creates chroots for the distribution you are building. So if you select Jessie, then a chroot-jessie will be setup and the actual build will take place in that chroot. cheers unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
