: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').
