 This phase is akin to building a few select packages from the Beyond Linux from Scratch Book.
 At the end of this phase the system will be capable of both running *and* compiling itself; however, it will not be complete yet.
+The entirety this process can be automated with portmake. Run the following (note that this command will take a //long// time):
+  /usr/ports/utilities/tools/portmake install phase3

 This phase is akin to building additional packages from the Beyond Linux from Scratch Book.
 At the end of this phase the system will be complete.
+Similarly, this entire process can be automated with portmake as well. Note that this will take a //very long// time (even longer than phases 1. 2 & 3).
+  /usr/ports/utilities/tools/portmake install phase4
+====== Chapter 9 - Creating the Installer Image ======
+We are done building the packages now, so exit the chroot environment.
+  exit
+===== Getting the Installer Buildscripts =====
+Navigate to /opt/culfs and download the installer buildscripts from the Cucumber Linux mirror:
+  cd /opt/culfs
+  rsync mirror.cucumberlinux.com::cucumber/cucumber-current/installer ./ -rv
+===== Preparing the Installer Build Environment =====
+Create a symlink to the directory containing the binary packages. Replace ''$CUCARCH'' with the architecture you are building for (''i686'' or 'x86_64''). If you are building for both architectures, create a separate symlink for each one.
+  ln -s chroot/opt/packages/cucumber cucumber-$CUCARCH
+===== Building the Installer =====
+==== Build the Initrds ====
+If desired, rebuild the initrds. This step is optional; if you skip it, the prebuilt initrds in the official Cucumber Linux source tree will be used instead. See the file installer/README for instructions on this.
+==== Build the ISOs ====
+Cd to the installer/iso directory.
+  cd installer/iso
+If you are not building the ISOs for every architecture, you will need to modify iso.buildscript. If you are building for all architectures you can skip this step.
+In iso.buildscript, find the line that reads:
+  for a in x86_64 i686; do
+Delete the architectures that you are not building from that line.
+Finally, run iso.buildscript. This will build your installer ISO images and place them in /tmp.
+  ./iso.buildscript
