If you've compiled the kernel sources, you have 2 options:

1) Publish them as the appropriate IPS package to a (local) repository, and use that as the preferred publisher / authority for the distro_const (DC) build. 2) Add a finalizer script, immediately after the "im-pop" finalizer, that copies the binary into the correct location in the proto/pkg_image area of the build*.

Hi,
I've been experimenting with [u][b]distro_const[/b][/u], the manifest file ( 
Mostly same i actually copied from AI installer for x86).

The question is if say i've compiled a the kernel sources and they reside in 
the platform/build-18..... some directory. So how and where do i specify that 
this kernel binary should be used instead? I've seen the 
[u][b]boot_root[/b][/u] section and in there i see two entries...

[i][u][b]<base_include type="dir">kernel</base_include>
<base_include type="dir">platform</base_include>[/b][/u][/i]

I'm guessing that these are supposed to tell which kernel should go in the iso 
right? however actually which one is it?  The the /kernel is the current 
current not the one i compiled.

So which one of these is to be used?

Thanks for ur help
