The installer can download its distributions/application via the internet, but it can also be bundled with a predefined application set for creating a disc release, ...
This mini-howto will explain, how to create a tgz file containing a complete application.

Step 1:

Create a temp directory (let's call it temp/).

Step 2:

Copy the corresponding distribution.xml, application.xml and packages.xml into it.

Step 3:

Now copy all compressed package archives into it.

Step 4:

Go into the temp dir and create a new archive.

czonsius@linux:/> cd temp
czonsius@linux:/> tar czf my_application-1.0.tgz .

Step 5:

For creating an installer with a predefined application, simply copy the my_application-1.0.tgz into the /installer/data/archives/ directory of a fresh installer. The next time, the installer gets executed, it will install your distribution / application / packages.
