Hi all,
I've been trying to test the localised images by following the EXAMPLE
section in the manual of ubuntu-defaults-image. I was hoping that I
would end up with a .iso I could test in vbox, but that's not the case.
After I run everything I end up with a lot of folders and files, and I
don't know how to go from there. I have zero experience with building
packages/images, so some hand-holding would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Redmar
