yes, it seems trivial to script the extracting of an iso in the releng scripts. however, since this effectively produces another "installation medium" I think it makes more sense to perform this in build.sh (or whatever); this also makes it easier for others who want to build the same end-product (the dir with files) themselves.
Actually, it is not a new medium: It is the netinstall-dual ISO with files removed (the removal of files is unnecessary, but I like things minimalistic).
I think you should add the commands I posted in the other mail [1] to the releng scripts instead. It doesn't matter to me that much, I would just love to get this done before the next ISO build, so I can write and test scripts that autogenerate the syslinux configs for my netboot.
so how about users who want to create this directory with files themselves? shouldn't they have an easy way to do it? (having them setup the releng environment != easy) Dieter
