There is an ongoing effort to clean up all the various instructions and
tutorials on our main website, since it can be confusing to find the right
information. Until that is finished... if you have the "Welcome" optional
package installed (which is also not a .zip, but gets installed from files
in the source tree), then I would very much recommend reading
/boot/beos/documentation/userguide/en/installation/install-source-linux.html
In the second half, it has an excellent introduction to using build
profiles. Note that this part of the user guide was intended to be
replicated on our website somewhere. The page is not directly accessible
from the User Guide itself, since it doesn't make so much sense to read it
from within Haiku when you have Haiku already installed. But anyways, this
is up2date and accurate information. Take the time to read it carefully and
save yourself a lot of misunderstanding with regards to build profiles and
optional packages.
Best regards,
