- to install the root issue:
- 
- {{{
- # poldek --pset=base.lst --uniq --install-dist=/path/to/root
- }}}
- to upgrade packages any time just issue:
- 
- {{{
- # poldek -r /path/to/root -u anypackage
+ # poldek -r /path/to/root -U anaconda
  }}}
  
- == making iso ==
+ Then proceed with the rest of the steps and create an ISO image.
  
- Install linux-live-build. You'll need kernel which has ext2 compiled in as default PLD Linux Distribution kernel doesn't provide that, you can download precompiled kernel from linux-live site. You should set password for root, or alter /etc/inittab to execute shell instanly after boot or you'll not be able to login.
+ == Creating repodata ==
  
- To use the linux-live kernel, pay attention that you need only /boot/vmlinuz-$VERSION /lib/modules/$VERSION. just copy those to your installroot.
- 
- To build your CD use:
- 
- {{{
- # ROOT=/path/to/your/root /usr/lib/linux-live/build
- }}}
- 
- Then to create ISO, cd to the /tmp/live_data_* directory created by the above command. Then cd to your live name and run:
- 
- {{{
- # sh make_iso.sh
- }}}
- 
- == creating repodata ==
- as the installer will depend on repodata, you'll need to create repodata in your PLD Linux Distribution mirror.
