remastering the installation iso, mkboot cd

well, I'm trying to do another installation iso with some custom installation scripts(translated), the problem comes when I have to use the mkbootcd command(I'm using mkbootcd and archboot),
it gives me error about it can't find the packages(it tries to get old versions)
I put an extract of the error:

[...]

I'm unable of solving this, any idea?
PD: I promise that after this I'll write some documentation about using this tools, they really need some

Re: remastering the installation iso, mkboot cd

Ok, I've it, some bad abs tree for the CD, a outdated install hook, modified them and now it creates the CD, now, just a question for making it sure, The base CD only contains the core repository?

PD: sorry for my english, anyway, tomorrow I start with the wiki page

Re: remastering the installation iso, mkboot cd

I've tried the CD and it gives me error when starting to install the packages, it says that acl(the first package) couldn't be find in the database, there's a core.cd.tar.gz file inside, Any ideas?
in the installation it gives me an error complaining about being unable to find core.db.tar.gz, and durng mkbootcd the same

==> ERROR: could not find libgcrypt-1.2.4-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz - skipping
==> ERROR: could not find kernel26-2.6.23.9-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz - skipping

but I have, a core.db.tar.gz in the packages directory

updates: I'm stupid, it couldn't find the files because it was looking in the wrong dir, and, yes, you can hit me
