+=ISO profile=
+You can adjust everything you want to change in your ISO (add packages or other files, adjust settings, etc.) in your profile folder located here:
+ manjaro-tools-iso-profiles/openbox/
+If you want to know how the folder structure in your profile folder works, read:
+* (only section 1 and 3) of the <code>README.md</code> file [https://github.com/manjaro/manjaro-tools here]
+* [https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Manjaroiso#Understanding_ManjaroISO_Profiles this Wiki] (not the part about installing ''manjaroiso'')
+* [https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Manjaro-tools#Overview this Wiki section]
+When reading about ''manjaroiso'' (either in the link given above or in other places), please note the differences between the old ''manjaroiso'' and the new ''manjaro-tools''. The most obvious are in your profile directory <code>manjaro-tools-iso-profiles/openbox</code>:
+* these files are not present anymore: <code>isolinux</code>, <code>isomounts</code>, <code>syslinux</code>
+* the <code>options.conf</code> file has completely changed and its new equivalent is called <code>profile.conf</code>
+* the <code>pacman-i686.conf</code> and <code>pacman-x86_64.conf</code> files have been renamed to <code>pacman-default.conf</code> and <code>pacman-multilib.conf</code>
+If you want to add AUR packages to your ISO, you need to create a local repository and add it to the corresponding <code>pacman.conf</code> file. Read here how to do it for ''manjaroiso'' (keep the changes between ''manjaroiso'' and ''manajro-tools'' in mind): [[How to install AUR packages in ManjaroISO]]

-=ISO profile=
+=Build your ISO=
+Navigate to the <code>manjaro-tools-iso-profiles</code> folder:
+ cd manjaro-tools-iso-profiles
+Query build your ISO. This gives you a nice overview of what is going to happen:
+ sudo buildiso -p openbox -q
+You can use arguments for more build options. Here a short example:
+ sudo buildiso -p openbox -a i686 -b unstable -q
+Then, start to build your ISO for real (just remove the <code>-q</code> argument):
+ sudo buildiso -p openbox
+If the build process fails with an error, start it again.
+Attention: The build process needs at least 10min to complete or much longer when you are using HDDs, slow CPUs, or large ISOs.
+You can find other examples of builds using different arguments for ''buildiso'' [https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Manjaro-tools#buildiso here].
+When the build process finishes successfully, the ISO file(s) will appear in this folder:
+ /var/cache/manjaro-tools/iso/
+=Cleaning your hard drive=
+After a successful or failed build, you can get rid of most data (the "raw" ISO with all downloaded packages) by deleting this folder:
+ sudo rm -r /opt/buildiso/openbox/
+To clean your system of packages not installed on your system, do:
+ paccache -ruk0
