One way to check whether it is a problem or not is to use the original manifest, and change nothing but use this zpool as the build area instead of "rpool". If you experience the problem, then, at least, we narrow it down to where it is, and we can take a look at why using that zpool doesn't work. > > I did this because after I built my first example with distro_const my > package manager gui tool didn't work correctly any more. I was > wondering if distro_const had broken something in rpool. Using distro_const with "rpool" shouldn't cause any problem. From what I know, all of us in the DC team built using rpool/xxxx. For me, I never use the package manager, so, I can't comment on the package manager part. If you found that using the zpool above caused problem for you, can you try to use rpool with your additional packages and see whether it makes a difference? > > I'm uploading the iso to my home directory it looks like read > permissions should allow you to get it from there. > /home/brucer/MyOS.iso > > It should be complete in an hour or so vpn is a bit slow today. I am not sure whether your ISO will finish uploading before I leave today. I am taking tomorrow off. If we still couldn't figure out what's wrong by Monday, I will take a look at your ISO then.
