:The difference is that the release you generated doesn't have packages.
:For the four-ISO set we do for each release, they're generated using the
:package-building cluster. If you're trying to make up something
:analogous to the first CDROM, you could probably grab the packages from
:an existing RC2 ISO image.

:Bruce.
Ah, ok. Is there a document somewhere describing how to generate the
ISO w/ packages or is that getting into the realm of magic?
This is just a sidebar... it looks like I've achieved my main goal. I
was able to burn the miniinst.iso image and successfully boot and install
it on one of my test machines. Next I'm going to play with the boot
floppy & ftp install stuff.
I've made the mini ISO available on my web site temporarily for anyone
else who wants to play with it.

(187 MB. burn with 'burncd' or 'cdrecord').
