Yes -- that's what I meant. Unfortunately because of the squashfs
corruption, it is the only way to get test3 installed :(

AFAIK the squashfs-tools update is not done. However, as a work around I
changed the arguments of mksquashfs in anaconda to use --no-fragments.
This should prevent mksquashfs from creating a corrupt filesystem image.
So to answer your question ;), the cuni.cz website should have a "safe"
image on it that buildos can use to create installable ISOs.
