Thanks ;) I followed instructions as here: http://wiki.openindiana.org:8080/display/oi/Creating+Distribution+Images and it seem to work fine even on dev-il. The only problem I see is the repo: creating the iso by downloading all the packages from a remote repo sounds very busy.
If you're adjusting package sets a lot, yes, it will be. But if you're doing customizations after the package download stage (which is the first one) then you can use the DC's resume from a checkpoint feature to avoid redoing that part.
Sorry for the silly question, but....maybe I should create a clone of the repo once? How?
If you're going to do a lot of builds with DC, you'll likely find this helpful. pkgrecv is the tool to replicate IPS repositories.
Then...how do I update the repo without recreating from scratch?
Again, pkgrecv. Dave

If you do manage get some experience with it, it would be great to write up your notes on the wiki. Customizing the installer works, but its currently a bit hidden, so any extra info you could add would be appreciated. The oi-dev IRC channel and ML will also be able to help you out, as there the devs who use it to produce the main OI installers with distro-constructor hang out.

That's what the Distribution Constructor tool is used for.
