[9fans] custom-built plan9 iso?

[9fans] custom-built plan9 iso?

[Corey]

Quite a while back, I recall someone was inquiring whether there was any
documentation/notes available with regards to the process of creating one's
own customized plan 9 iso - or related documentation detailing how the
official iso/distro is built.  If I remember correctly, there were a couple
responses that provided links to these docs... but I'm unable to find the
thread in question. Anyone know where I could find such info?

Excellent - thanks!     (I believe there was one other source of
notes on the subject... at least from what I remember of that
thread I mention  - but this should get be going)

Cheers

reading http://src.oitobits.net/9null/raw-file/2478889c5356/util/mkiso
and http://src.oitobits.net/9null/raw-file/2478889c5356/boot/pc/mkfile
may be more useful for a standard installation.
