KolibriOS Custom Build Help

Hello. My name is Nick and I am an assembly programmer. First of all, I want to say that I really like the idea of KolibriOS...
I am currently making a custom build of KolibriOS... But I have encountered some problems:

Here is what I have done up to now:
1.I downloaded the source from your svn repo..
2.I modified the default theme...
3.I modified the bootloader (Basically I changed the blue screen text...)
4.I used your build_*.bat files to compile everything..
Here is what I want to do:
I want to write my modified version of your bootloader to the floppy. (The problem is that I don't know which file it is...)
I also want to change the background...(Help please...)
Thirdly I want to add the kernel to my floppy... (Do I just copy it?)

Thanks in advance..
Nick

Bootloader isn't file, it's first sector of floppy, and it's sources in /trunk/kernel/bootloader/.
If you say about /trunk/kernel/boot folder then it's part of kernel, and these files already compiled into kernel.mnt.

Background settings are in autorun.dat file (at floppy root folder).

If you want to install new kernel to kolibrios floppy, just copy new file instead of old.

Note: you can use kerpack for kernel and kpack for programs.
