	Right, well here is what I have been using to build the images:

	source CONF.sh
	make distclean
	make mirrorcheck 
	make status
	make bootable (which BTW always returns this error:) 

	mkdir: cannot create directory
	`/mirror/tmp/potato-i386/CD1/doc/FAQ/html': File exists
	tar (child): ../debian-faq.html.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or
	directory
	tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
	tar: Child returned status 2
	tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
	Adding install tools and documentation ...
	mkdir: cannot create directory
	`/mirror/tmp/potato-i386/CD1/doc/install': File exists
	make: *** [/mirror/tmp/potato-i386/CD1/tools] Error 1

	So to fix this I do a: 
	rm -rf /mirror/tmp/potato-i386/CD1/doc/FAQ/html
	rm -rf /mirror/tmp/potato-i386/CD1/doc/install

	Followed by another "make bootable"

	..which works
	Followed by a: 
	make list COMPLETE=1
	make images


	My Debian_potato has this line added to it: 

	#include <miranda>

	and miranda looks like:

	j2sdk1.3_1.3.0-2_i386
	mysql-server_3.22.32-6
	rocketpci422_1.23.0-1_i386
	commapi 
	jini1_1
	mysql
	icontrol 
	mysql-server

	Which are all my local packages.

	Let me know if there is any other info that you require.

	Thanks
	Justin.
